Hey Everyone, :)

About a week ago I set up my home network (2 computers, each connected to a HUB, one connecting to the internet the other sharing) using Norton Antivirus 2005.

Then I decided to try using Zone Alarm on both computers..so I installed ZA and BANG...the internet stopped working.

I then reinstalled Norton Antivirus 2005 on both machines (yes I did uninstall Zone Alarm)...and the internet is only working on my computer (the computer which connects directly to the internet).

Now the LAN is working fine (except its a bit slow when i try to access the my mums computer). I can share files with no problems.

When i try and ping google on my mums computer it says: Ping request could not find www.google.com.

In My Network Connections on my mums computer it shows my internet connection (as connected).

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Slick :cool:

Yes the entire internet did stop working! Gee, didnt you know that the world ecomony dropped by 20% when it went down the other day. :p

But thanks to ME, the world can return to business as usual!

(Yes I fixed the entire internet by running system restore on my network computers) :p
