i have a network of one desktop and onetop connected via crossover cable. everything seemed to be work ok, file & printer sharing, folder accesses, etc.
i just installed zonealarm firewall. as soon as it finished installing and re-starting the laptop, the connection was lost, the laptop didn't show up on the workgroup, and no files or printers could be shared on the net. the lap top disappeared from network connections on both machines.
just for other users to know about zone alarm. it's bad news. and bad programming for za not being able to see the difference lan pc and malicious internet stuff.
