The Zone Alarm Settings? Trusted IPs, Allow access to shared resources and to share resource?

they can 'see' each other, so what does it say when you try to access them?

Chevy_Cowboy · 06-08-2005, 05:40 PM

i see everything in theirs and i can share their files and all that its just them trying to access my computer and see the files that i share.... i tried the trust ips and all that stuff but it still doesnt let me

OK - try to check the logs (traffic, security, etc) of the firewalls of both ZoneAlarm PC and Norton PCs. One of these should have the IP of the blocked PC and state why !!!???!!1

I think Zone Alarm pro cloaks that machine so it appears invisible and does not repsond to pings. What you need to do is edit your ZA settings so that it allows pings from the NAV machines.

i have the ZA Logg on and show all activity but it doesnt show anything at all.. that is what i use to do and that is how i use to get it to work but now nothing shows up and the event log is on... i turned the ZA down so that my computer wasnt invisible and i could share my resources but still nothing

Is everything ZA related shutoff? Type services.msc at Start->Run. And see if there's any ZoneAlarm service that has the Started status. If yes turn it off and make sure it's stopped. What about the Windows Firewall? Is it stopped?

I have exactly the same issue. If you disable it - i bet ya it works

no idea y but even if the ips are in your "trusted zone" it is not possible to acess the files. Personally i just turn it off and use my routers firewall - much more effective than software firewalls
