Remote Management Console - XP Home - Repost

[Gert B. Frob]

I have a four computer home network. Three of the computers run Win 2K Pro
and the fourth, XP Home. While in Computer Management Console, I can
remotely connect to the other two 2K machines and view their logs, etc.
However, I have not been able to make this work with the XP Home machine.

The management console locates the XP machine but will fail when trying to
do anything else. A message stating the network path is not found is
returned.

I have tried creating a share on the root of the XP's C: drive - no change.
I have tried turning on the guest account - no change.
I have created a password for the XP's main admin account and tried while
logged in to the 2K's admin account using same password - no change.

The XP machine is not using Window's firewall. Using Zone Alarm instead.
No requests from Zone Alarm for permissions has occurred.

Any ideas?

TIA

Hey, the problem is from zone alarm, you have to trust your internal network,
if no messages come up from zone alarm, make sure you have enable see all
alerts, I can't remember the exact "phrase". You may have add a trusted zone
to allow your other internal computers access to your XP. Please read the
Help File for Zone Alarm, here you will find more information, hope this
helps. I'm using EZ-Armor which is a full version for Zone Alarm plus the AV.

No, the proper ip address range and subnet mask is trusted.
