I have a desktop (XP home) and laptop (XP home) networked with a crossover
cable and can access the internet from both only when I exit Zonealarm (free
version). I have been told that this is a problem if you use ZA freeware
version, but is not a problem if you are running ZA Pro. Any knowledge or
experiences with regards to this would be appreciated.

TIA

Hello

Well their is that old saying you get what you pay for, and if it is free
your pretty much on your own

Steve is right - no difference between freeware and Pro.
You have to "tell" ZoneAlarm which of your 2 computers is
a gateway (ICS/NAT gateway) and which is a client of that
gateway. Open/restore ZoneLab window, check "Firewall" and
in tab "Main" find button "Advanced". The dialog box
opens... I'm sure you can guess what to do after that
(Help is also quite usefull to figure out what to do when
you reach this place). Good Luck! David
