ZoneAlarm, 3 PCs on network, 1 with sporadic internet access

[bhlewis]

I have 3 computers on a network, 2 with win98 and 1 with winXP. I use ZoneAlarm on one win98 PC that is acting as the server. Everything works great. I can share files and Internet access. The problem is the PC with winXP. The Internet connection or access is very sporadic. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. If I refresh about 20 or 30 times it will start working but what a pain. If I turn off ZoneAlarm it works fine.

Try changing your Firewall's Internet Zone Security to Medium. By default in Windows XP it is set to High, which is Stealth mode, no body can see you, a setting you might want to apply momentarily, when being extensively attacked by hackers.
