have my internet through win98 machine and second comp with XP, zone alarm
3.7.159 is on both machines.
problem is that while i can network both using crossover cable i am unable
to get Inetrnet connection sharing working, have checked adaptors and ip
protocols are all ok, any suggestions
 
Make sure the firewall is set at high for Internet Zone Security and Low/Med
for Trusted Zone Security, aqnd make sure that all the programs you are
sharing have the appropriate rights, etc. Usually sharing programs rights
should be set at Access(Trusted & Internet) and Server(Trusted & Internet).
 
have done all this and still no success, BUT looking through help files on
zone alarm it says that i need zone alarm pro to get ICS, so in retrospect i
think it is not possible with ZA basic
Anyway thanks fro helping
 
Some hints:

- ICS works fine with the free ZoneAlarm version as well, although
their FAQs still suggest you should switch to Pro.
- Go sure you are running the latest ZoneAlarm version (this solved a
similar issue for me once).
- Check that your local network adapter (means its network address /
subnet mask) is part of the Trusted Zone.
- Set the security level to "medium" for both Internet and Trusted
Zone.
- Ensure that besides activating Internet Connection Sharing on your
server's Internet adapter, addtional protocols might have to be
enabled (SMTP, FTP, TELNET, etc).
- Your client's TCP/IP settings must define the server's IP address as
DNS Server and Default Gateway.
