firewall trouble - zone alarm

Hi,

Im having real trouble with my wireless connection. I have a pc that is
connected to the internet and also to a WAP that lets my other pc
upstairs connect.

I have installed zone alarm on both machines, but whenever zone alarm
is running on the pc connected to the interet, i cant access the
interenet upstairs. The wireless connection is fine, but nothing seems
to be getting through.

Ive checked to make sure the wireless network is added as a trusted
network on both pcs, but it only connects if zone alarm is switched off
on the pc connected to the internet and WAP.

A bit more detail on your network is required as well as the version of
Zone Alarm.

Is your set up:-
Internet--->Modem--->PC--->Wap <--wireless--> upstairs PC
Are you trying to use ICS ?

or is your set up something different?

Dump it and get Kerio. Great fireall, particularly when used in
learning mode.

Very easy to configure for networks, and works great behind a hardware
firewall.

I used Zonealarm for years but it turned into a fat pig from XP on.

A fat pig? Yes and no.

The ZA download is enormous (~40MB) but, once installed, ZA is not a
resource hog in memory use or in CPU cycles. I continue to use it on
several PCs, including Vista and XP (PRO, HE, and MC).

I ran in to this problem myself very recently.

The free version of ZA does not support ICS. You can run it on the
client compiuters, but not on the machine that is sharing its Internet
connection.

The "Plus" and "Pro" versions support ICS.

Google "Zonealarm ics" and you will find lots of hits.
