    I just installed Zone Alarm in one of my network computers (out ot 3). No server. And they cannot comunicate with each other anymore. Could this be caused by Zone Alarm? I checked the settings but it shows that it allows network access.

    Thank you guys!

    try seeing what happens in safe mode(tap f8 while the computer is booting)then we'll know if its zone alarm.

    It is ZoneAlarm. I must have done something that created the problem. I disabled ZoneAlarm and activaded Windows Firewall and Abracadabra it worked. I will probably re-install ZoneAlarm and pay more attention to the initial settings but any ideas will be appreciated.

    How do I delete the program file? Since this is the free version, will that be a problem that I am installing again and again?

    I did everything you said but did not work.

    I added the IP addresses and still did not work.

    Any ideas?

    BTW, ZoneAlarm is working fine. Is just that I cannot see my other computers in the network.

    Well, let me tell you how I fixed it.

    1. Uninstalled ZoneAlarm.
    2. Ran Ccleaner.
    3. Installed ZoneAlarm.
    4. Found my correct IP's from http://www.webyield.net/domainquery.html
    5. Opened ZoneAlarm/Firewall/Zones and added the correct IP's.

    Abracadabra...

    It worked!

    BTW, ZoneAlarm TS, talks about a Network Wizard but I think that only activates when you buy their other programs.

    Happy New Year!
