I'm new to ZoneAlarm. Just installed it.

ZoneAlarm detected a Network: ip=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. The ip address
is unknown to me
but I clicked yes to TRUST it. The default DSL Router gateway is
192.168.1.1. Any ideas? Do that sound correct?

Warm Regards,

That's the IP block of the router.

I don't understand. Is ZoneAlarm blocking Network:
ip=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0? -or- Is Linksys blocking Network:
ip=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0?
 
No, Zone alarm isn't blocking it, because you gave it access. Which is what
you want.

That is the ip address of your internal network from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 as
established by the Linksys device. If you add more computers to your network, the
Linksys dhcp will assign them an address that range except for 192.168.1.255 which is
a broadcast address. The "trusted" term means that computers in that address range
will not be subject to firewall rules, which is generally what you want. The address
of 127.0.0.1 is considered the local host or your computer communicating with
itself. --- Steve
 
OK. We are talking about subnetting on a Software Firewall and DSL
router???? IP range 192.168.0.1 (default gateway for most networks) to
192.168.0.255 (a Class "C" IP Range)

And my router is on a subnet range 192.168.1.0.

This informaiton checks out here:

http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/n/netmask.htm

"Using a 24-bit netmask the network would be capable of 2,097,150 networks
or 254 different hosts with an IP range of 192.0.1.x - 223.255.254.x. This
is commonly plenty of addresses for one network."

My router:
"For example in a [subnet of] 255.255.225.0, "0" is the assigned network
address and in 255.255.255.255, "255" is the assigned broadcast address.
The 0 and 255 are always assigned and cannot be used."
 
Yes. I believe Linksys uses 192.168.1.0 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 by default. ---
