Hello;
I have a LAN home network with one XP machine and two ME machines. All
machines have NIC cards cabled to the Internet via a Netgear RT 314 router
and DSL modem. All machines can communicate with the Internet, but can not
communicate with each other. I posted this problem earlier and was told to
disable the ZoneAlarm firewalls on all machines. I am "virus paranoid", thus
hesitant to try this solution.Is this a good solution? Can you recommend a
solution? Thanks for all the help and advice.
