Mary,

You are correct about their web page and I don't dispute the fact that you
never got it to work (I have a MCSE friend that could not either).  But I
have to say they are wrong.  Either that or I am incredibly lucky to have
run Sygate, Wingate AND Windows ICS (all at different times obviously) and
had absolutely no problems running ZA on the gateway machine.  All I had to
do was place the LAN IP block (or in one case just the computer name) in to
the local zone.  I can't explain why it worked, it just did.  I wrote to
Zone Labs directly several times about this and never received a response.

Now, with the upgrade to version 2.1 of ZA, they may have disabled this
functionality in the "freeware" version, but I can say that at one time it
did work.
