    Hi gang...........
    I am sharing a Dial Up internet connection between two XP PCs using ethernet crossover cable, it works fine.
    BUT if I use Zone Alarm Pro on the server it blocks the server from any & all connections that the NIC asks for.

    Example from Zone Alarm Alert Log:
    Description Packet sent from 207.194.36.185 (TCP Port 62534) to 70.42.185.113 forums.pcworld.com (HTTP) was blocked
    Rating Medium
    Date / Time 2008/01/29 06:30:42-8:00 GMT
    Type Firewall
    Protocol TCP (flags:S)
    Program
    Source IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:62534 (my IP number)
    Destination IP 70.42.185.113:80 forums.pcworld.com
    Direction Outgoing
    Action Taken Blocked
    Count 1
    Source DNS SERVER

    Ethernet is set to trusted in Zone Alarm firewall as it should be:
    Name ethernet
    Zone Trusted
    Entry Type Network
    IP Address / Site 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

    I have searched forums but none apply directly to my problem.
    tnx
