HI

i have 2 computers .. both are connected using a crossover cable...both have
modems... using winxp pro.. i have shared all the drives on one pc .... i
connect to internet using one pc and have the have its connection shared to
be used by the other pc..... i have few questions regarding this
scenario........ firstly when i start zone alarm i cant share fiels and
fodlers and interent.... due to zonealarm..... so i ahve to disable the
firewall to be able to share files and internet.... but i dont like this i
want to use firewall and still be able to share the net....and fiels and
folder..............if this is possible. then should i need to have firewall
on installed on both the pc's .... my second question is that since i have
shared all the drives and cd rom on other pc is there anything wrong with
this if i am online........ i may make the sharing pc a client or a server
( in a way it accesses the net server= the pc connection directly to the
internet ,,,, client= the pc using the shared connection of other pc ) .

Open Zone Alarm and put your two computers in the trusted
zone. [Firewall/zones page]

Zone Alarm PRO allows NAT - eg, sharing between computers and Internet etc.
Zone Alarm FREE edition doesn't. That is why.
