I have 2 systems in my apartment I have networked through an Iblitzz brand
router.
1st Machine (Mine) has XP Pro SP2 and is connected directly to router with a
cable
2nd Machine (Friends) has XP HOME SP2 and has a wireless card.

I can get him connected to the router just fine and get him connected.. but
after about 5 minutes.. he can no longer open web pages. However, he can
still ping any IP address through the run bar.

Furthermore, he can access any of my shared files on my computer (I have
NTFS), but i cannot access or even see any of his shared folders (He is FAT32)
My computer has no problems aside from not being able to find his computer
or shared files on the network.

I am at a loss as to why this is happening. We initially had a problem that
ended up being Zone Alarms TRUE VECTOR security shutting him off, but that
has since been deleted completely and all Zone Alarms processes have been
disabled, he only runs the built in Windows firewall, and so do I.

If i am missing any info or if anyone has experienced this or has any
insight let me know, i am clueless. Thanks in Advance.
 
Uninstall ZoneAlarm rather than disabling it and see if your problems
persist.
