ICS won't actually work unless you have the internet connection off a
different network card or modem. ICS requires two different adaptors to
work.
Yes enable firewall on router - this is your first line of defense agains
hackers and spyware.
Installing ZA on XP PC's also (after trouble shooting - also turn off on 98
PC's also while trouble shooting) is a good idea as this stops
spyware/adware to a certain extent also. I used ZA for a short time - I now
use full NIS which adds virus protection and parental control - set the IP
range 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255, netmask 255.255.255.0 as trusted for all
traffic. Since you are using the same network card for both internet and LAN
traffic you can't specify the network card to be trusted as it will then
allow all traffic over the internet which is what you are trying to prevent
(applies to NIS but can't remember if ZA has this feature).
