Re: Problem with ICS

Absolutely right Steve, ZoneAlarm free version does NOT support ICS,
according to Zone Labs website. In fact, I tried turning it off (on both
machines) and it seemed to be OK, albeit rather slow. Heigh ho, off to the
local store to look at faster cards for the laptop...
Thanks for the advice.

Sorry, I forgot to say that both machines are running ZoneAlarm (free

I have set up ICS on my Desktop (Host) and Laptop (Client), but cannot
browse any websites with IE (etc) on Laptop.

Setup is as follows:-
a.. Host machine (Desktop) is XP Pro SP2, with all latest patches.
Connects to Internet via wireless router to broadband DSL connection.
Wireless router is 192.168.1.1, Desktop is 192.168.1.2, and connection is
fine, no problems. LAN connection is via crossover cable, set to
192.168.0.1, and connection to Laptop is fine too.
b.. Client machine (Laptop) is also XP Pro SP2. LAN address set to
192.168.0.62, and LAN connection works fine (e.g. transferring files
across. I can ping IP addresses on the web from here quite happily, but
IE just waits forever to connect to a website directly.
Clearly I have something set wrong somewhere, but I can't for the life
of me think what.

Pointers will be gratefully received!
Thanks.

Check the ZoneAlarm web site. I think I recall seeing that ZoneAlarm
(free version) is incompatible with ICS on the host computer, or that
it needs special settings.
