ZoneAlarm Free Edition building complex all right on a stand-alone PC and is an beyond compare personalised driving force. However, if you connect that said PC to a exchange cards (with different PC or portable computer) you'll presently acquire that ZoneAlarm will not let you see or admittance your net. ZoneAlarm is in reality doing its job - obstruction "unauthorized" in attempts to entree your PC. The key name here is "unauthorized". To get ZoneAlarm to recognize your make friends and permit right concerning PCs, you will have to impart ZoneAlarm message roughly your lattice so it will past become "authorized".

This sounds ascetic enough, but it is in information highly teflon for the "average Joe" to assemble this when you are victimization ZoneAlarm Free Edition. (ZoneAlarm Pro Edition is enhanced appropriate for use on networked PCs).

Here are whole mission on how to agree to your lattice on ZoneAlarm Free Edition.

We will be exploitation 2 PCs on a open home-network for this teacher and a dial-up internet seam. The preparation and explanations will be as non-technical as latent.

The entry PC is running Windows XP Home and the Client PC is running Windows XP Professional. Both PCs have been united via net cablegram and the Gateway PC has been designed to slice it's dial-up computer network joint beside the Client PC, along near wallet and skilled worker joint.

1) Install the massively most modern publication of ZoneAlarm Free Edition on both PCs. When you then try to allotment / right files on the network, it fails exact distant. The Client PC is likewise incompetent to right the internet finished the Gateway PC.

2) You will status to insight out the IP computer address (or span of addresses) for respectively of the PCs. On our Gateway PC, we were able to brainwave this out by right-clicking on our gridiron linkage (Control Panel > Network Connections) and selecting "Properties". In the "General" tab, we next clicked on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and then clicked the "Properties" toggle. We saw an IP address in this data format - 192.xxx.x.x. We will be victimisation this as the IP code for our Gateway PC.

3) We then proved to haunt the identical etiquette on the Client PC to find its IP address, but we ran into a nuisance. The Client PC was set to "Obtain an IP code automatically" and for this reason this did not assistance us to see its IP computer address. We went fund to the Gateway PC wherever ZoneAlarm was simply moving and looked at its log record (double-click the ZoneAlarm statue practical your PC's clock, sound on "Alerts & Logs" and after click the "Log Viewer" tab). We were able to see that a specific IP computer code was squarely state blocked. This, we figured out, belonged to the Client PC. So we now have IP addresses for some PCs.

4) Open ZoneAlarm on the Gateway PC, clink on "Firewall" and after "Zones". This is where on earth we will come in in the IP computer address of the Client PC, thereby handsome it say-so to entree the Gateway PC. Then chink on the "Add >>" holdfast and (in our valise), click on "IP Address". If you have an "IP Range", you would superior that or else. In the dialogue box that comes up, be secure that the Zone is set to "Trusted" and consequently group in the IP computer code of the Client PC. Then you must also genus in a description (example: Home Network). If you do not do this, you will be inept to talk. You have now jubilantly intercalary the Client PC to the "Trusted" Zone of the Gateway PC. At this ingredient we went ended to the Client PC and tried to right files from the Gateway PC - success. We consequently proved to right the internet done the Gateway PC - failure.

5) The close maneuver we did was to unfurl ZoneAlarm on the Gateway PC and chink on "Firewall" and consequently "Main". Set the "Internet Zone Security" to "Medium" (which allows your PC to be perceptible but nonmoving be shielded) and consequently do the said for the "Trusted Zone Security".

6) We past went put a bet on done to the Client PC and proved accessing the internet - success! We have now successfully configured ZoneAlarm Free Edition on our Gateway PC - allowing the Client PC to indefinite quantity entree to it and stock certificate files, trained worker and internet. Once your Gateway PC is secure and providing you near down-to-earth alerts, it is not needed to have ZoneAlarm moving on the Client PC. However, we will go even further for this instructor and set up ZoneAlarm on the Client PC as healed.

7) At this point, we went complete to the Client PC and followed manoeuvre 4) devising sure we written in the IP address of the Gateway PC alternatively. We then covered up by successive tactical manoeuvre 5).

Both PCs were after restarted and self-contained tests were through.

ZoneAlarm Free Edition was moving delightedly on both PCs which were networked equally. The Gateway PC can accession files on the Client PC and vice-versa. The Client PC can use the printer united to the Gateway PC and it can also accession the internet done the Gateway PC.

As explicit earlier, this practice is untrusty - but not out to complete.

Based on your unique scheme setup and the figure of computers involved, the stairway defined above may not hard work for you, but it is meriting the endeavour to have ZoneAlarm's drive stuffing.
