| 241067 | 2004-06-02 02:03:00 | Hi all. I have a wireless network at home - one desktop win XP home that connects to the net, one win xp laptop and another desktop, this time running win 2000 professional. I have ICS running so the laptop and the win 2000 machine can access the net - this works sweetly as long as i disable the Zone Alarm firewall. If the firewall is running, I cannot browse the web on the 'clients' I have added a trusted IP range of 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.254.254 AND have added individual trusted IP addresses that the two clients run. The firewall blocks net access anyway. - - I disabled the firewall for one day and night, and ended up with the Sasser worm. (which I have since fixed) Any Ideas? Cheers |

| 241068 | 2004-06-02 02:18:00 | Hi Jaxson, what version of Zone Alarm are you running? If it is the free version then you will find that ICS does not work. It is a "feature" of the Pro version. You could try using Sygate version 5 or later which has full ics support and is free for personal use. Have a look here. smb.sygate.com Hope this helps B. |

| 241069 | 2004-06-02 02:20:00 | First of all, to prevent the Sasser worm you need to be going to Windows Update. This is a MUST! Second of all, check here for a quick prevention of the worm while you're getting the Windows Updates: www.updatexp.com (Is it just me or are Viruses really stupid nowadays!) Next, try making your Network Card a trusted device. Ive not done ICS with Zone Alarm, but get your Updates and prevent the worm using the technique from the above URL. Cheers Chill. |

| 241070 | 2004-06-02 02:27:00 | Cheers Barnabas I see now on Zone Alarm's website they tell you to upgrade to pro if you want to use ICS. :o( I always liked ZA. I might even pay for it. I've been using it for three years or something for free. |

| 241071 | 2004-06-02 02:30:00 | Thanks CS - I used 'Stinger' to get rid of the Sasser Worm. I had always allowed the automatic updates to install whenever the system saw fit, but there may have been something wrong with it. |

| 241072 | 2004-06-02 06:53:00 | You could use Xp's firewall? It actually works pretty good. |
