I cant seem to make Internet connection sharring work with AONEALARM.... my
other
computer has been cut off of the internet.
What can I do?

From http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/support/techNote_9.jsp :

ZoneAlarm Plus and ZoneAlarm Pro fully support Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS). ZoneAlarm does not fully support ICS.

From
http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/support/znalmGeneralFAQ.jsp :

1. What are the major differences between ZoneAlarm and
ZoneAlarm Pro?

ZoneAlarm Pro keeps all of the great features of ZoneAlarm but
adds more control and features including:

ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) capability: Allows configuration
of an ICS network with features to turn ICS on or off and to
auto-detect routing and ICS.

So, it appears that the free version of ZoneAlarm is incompatible with
ICS on the host computer. Perhaps someone else knows a way to
overcome the problem.

If you can't use ZoneAlarm, un-install it and either:

1. Install an ICS-compatible firewall, or:

2. Enable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on the shared
Internet connection.

I use both ICS and Zone Alarm.

First off, the Installer for the pro version of zone
alarm trial, asks if the current computer you are on is
either, a) an ICS Gateway - Providor, b) an ICS Client
(other computer) or c) Neither. Running XP Pro, or 2k Pro
I have seen ICS work with the latest version. Just make
sure either the client or server are in the trusted zone.
