I have two computers networked together each using Windows XP Pro and Zone Alarm (not Pro)

I can access files and the printer across the network from either computer.

One computer, the Gateway, has a dial-up modem and connects to the Internet OK.

I cannot connect to the Internet from the other (Slave) computer.   All settings seem to be OK.   The Gateway is set to share its dial-up connection, the Slave is set to automatically detect settings.   ZoneAlarm is set up to allow the LAN as a Trusted site.

Internet Explorer (on the Slave) seems to not be able to find any Internet connection at all.

Any suggestions??

TIA

Alan

PS When I shut down ZoneAlarm on the Gateway computer I can connect to the Internet from the Slave computer.   This suggests that it is a ZoneAlarm setting - they all look OK to me.

Thanks for your reply Eric

I found the ZoneAlarm setting - I had the Internet firewall set to high which does not allow sharing.   Have reset it to medium and all works OK now

Hope you are continuing to recover.
