Zone Alarm + ICS= No go

[LethalWolfe]

I got ICS working between my Win2k box (directly connected to 'net) and my G4 (hooked up to my PC), but Zone Alarm blox my G4 from getting on line. No "do you want to allow this program to access the internet" boxes pop-up and I've messed w/the security settings (both the sliders and "advanced" tab) but still nothing. If I reduce the "internet" slider to "low" then the G4 can pass thru Zone Alarm, but w/the settings on "low" what's the point of running it in the first place, right? Any suggestions?

In the advanced settings make a category within the same subnet mask. Should do the trick.

You need ZoneAlarm Pro to take care of this. Regular ZoneAlarm does not support ICS with the normal security settings. The problem exists when you try to send a request out to the Internet. When the response comes back to your Internet gateway it looks like an unsolicited incoming packet from the Internet and is blocked.

Cool, thanx for the replies. I'll try the "free" option first, and if that doesn't work I'll get Zone Alarm Pro.
