642363 2008-02-21 05:00:00 Hi Guys

I am using ZoneAlarm Free (I dont know why but ...)

I am struggling to set up my three PC home network.

What settings should I enter and where. I have struggled to find any info on this.

I have a Netcomm Nb5plus4 router.

Regards

642364 2008-02-21 05:04:00 Didnt the network wizard in ZA, come up during the install, or after you installed it?

So, you could configure the network? 		Speedy Gonzales (78)
642365 2008-02-21 05:10:00 Easiest way is to set the whole range of your router.

Click Start/run type in CMD press enter, in the command prompt box type in ipconfig press enter,look for your gateway address. It may be something like 192.168.1.1 or 10.1.1.1 we'll use 198..... for this example.

In zone alarm, open the program, click Firewall/ right of the new window click "Zones" Tab / Click "Add" button ( down the Bottom) select IP RANGE. In the top IP box put in 192.168.1.1 Second box 192.168.1.255, call it what ever you want, click Apply, close the windows.

This will allow the full range of the router through. If you have a gateway of 10.1.... then its 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.255 		wainuitech (129)

No the wizard did not come up when I reinstalled Zone Alarm Free. Indeed I am convinced from what I have seen and read that Zone Alarm Free does not have a network wizard.

Thanks

It doesn't have a network wizard, it will pop up asking to allow/deny access from other PC's on your network,( a REAL pain in the Butt) unless you set it up as I instructed in Post #3 		wainuitech (129)

Thanks very much, your first post's instructions were very good and it seems to be working well. I'll give a a few more days, then report back. (lots of people just say type in your IP address. But you explained how to get your IP address and how to type it in !

Thanks very much for your kind assistance.
