Hi all,

Just set up my home network to share our new Broadband connection. I have Xp home on the main PC, Win 98 on the other.

Right, used the Network Configuration Wizard which generates the NETSETUP file for 98. Once installed, I can see both PC from both ends. Great so far. Oh, a note on the settings - both PC's generate an IP address, I have not set a static one. Lsst time I connected I used a static IP, but as I'm sharing Broadband I thought it best to leave XP to set it up.

Now the problem is, the WIn 98 pc cant see the net. After much checking, I found its my fire wall stopping traffic from the 98 end. I risked a second to disable it while connected (daft thing to do, I know) and 98 can then use the net fine.

How do I make the firewall recognise the 98 pc as trusted when it doesn't have a static IP address? Should i just view the Alert Log, and add the IP address its shows as having tried to get through?

I have EZ Armor Firewall, which is basically ZoneAlarm in different colours, by the way.

I'm hoping its going to be a easy one to answer, but I just cant seem to find the option in Zones.

Thanks in advance!
