Zonealarm & File Sharing 4

[chdavisjr]

I have a Windows XP and Windows 98 S.E. connected at home thru a Linksys router and use ZoneAlarm Pro, the most recent version.
I tried everything I could to share folders on one PC with the other, and sometimes it worked, sometimes not.

After months of searching and trouble-shooting, it finally hit me last night to check ZoneAlarms log files. Sure enough, I saw where the ip's for my two computers were being blocked!
All I had to do was to add the IP's (ZoneAlarm assigned them for me) to the trusted ZOnes, and now I can share files to my heart's content!
Just thought this might help others!

I had a very similar experience. I took me a few weeks to get to the bottom of the issue. Thanx 4 Sharring....

Dude!

If I could vote multiple times, I would... that was very very cool!

Everything else I tried failed.. other than taking a bat to zone alarm, but that would damage the laptop..

Excellent!!!

Neat!!!

Anyway for me the files were at c:\windows\internet logs... they're named by date.. just so all y'all know.. and all you have to do is try to hit the za'd computer from other computers.

Now I might actually install zone alarm since networks work.
