Zone Alarm: Networking Two Computers

[Jim]

I have two computers networked through a router.

I just installed Zone Alarm (free version) on both PCs. I
then followed the directions in order to allow the PCs to
allow them to be visible to each other on the local
network. However, when I set the security settings as
recommended by ZA (internet zone: high, trusted zone:
medium), the computers cannot see each other. Only when I
lower the security settings to low (essentially turning
off ZA) can the computers see each other.

I would appreciate help with this.

Hello

Well you get what you pay for, free

You have entered the Host & Client Computer Names and IP addresses into the
Trusted Zone? Under Firewall/Zones/Add

Dear Alvin,
Sarcasm is unbecoming.
If you don't know the answer don't bother to reply!

I think I figured it out: I needed to change the "Zone"
for the adapter on each PC from "internet" to "trusted"

Thanks
