Rosco,
Zone Alarm is known for misbehaviour, particularly when disabled. If this is
Zone Alarm Pro, you have 2 options:
1) Re enable, add all PCs to the Local (Highly Trusted) Zone, and open the
following ports for file sharing in the Local Zone: TCP 139, 445; UDP 137, 138,
445.
2) Un install ZA totally, carefully, following all procedures provided by Zone
Alarm.
If this is ZA Free, you have only option 2.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
