279201 2004-10-08 04:54:00 Hello,

I have recently connected 2 computers on a network using a crossover cable. I used the network setup wizard on both computers and everything went fine. I managed to configure zonealarm firewall in the client computer to allow the host computer to access it but I have a problem with configuring zonealarm in the host computer to allow the client computer to access it. I do not know the ip address of the client computer. Do I need to make an ip address for the client computer? Does anybody know how I can configure zonealarm on the host computer?

Can you tell me how I should have set up my network so that I can check to see if I have done it right?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou,
Michael

It shouldn't need an ip address. Just do the above.
