802.11b Ad Hoc and Free ZoneAlarm

Other than the Zone Alarm forums, can anyone point me in the direction of a
website or FAQ that explains the intricacies of setting up computer to
computer 802.11b connection when one computer is going to used for both as
internet connection on dial up service. Everything works fine without Zone
Alarm active- once Free ZoneAlarm gets involved, it seems to cause problems.
Thanks.

Hi one of the arthurs, when you setup ur wireless network from a wired
one, has there been any slowdowns on the client's computer?? i
switched from a wired to a wireless one also, and the clients speed is
less than that of a dial-up connection.. wonder if i have the wrong
set up or not.. can u help please?

My local network is significantly slower in the transfer of large files
from PC to PC. When interfacing with the Internet through our DSL line,
however, the speed is about the same. So basically, I am getting
DSL-class speed on the wireless LAN, but not ethernet-100 speed. It is
certainly MUCH faster than dial-up.
