Zone alarm and networking

[P3wP3w]

I use Zone alarm free as my firewall and I cant get the networking between my pcs to work. Sometimes you can see the other pcs on the network, sometimes not, but everytime it wont allow me to connect saying network address not found. I think Zone alarm is the culprit as all the machines have file and printer sharing enabled. Any thoughts?

Disable zonealarm...does it work then?
then u know its the culprit?
What firewall rules do you have in place? Blaming a firewall for blocking traffic is somewhat strange....its actually doing its job

I dont have any specific rules in place, but ill start adding all the addresses of the machines and make them static aswell, that should work no? Blaming a firewall for blocking traffic, no, just saying its being evil with the networking. Ill keep trying and report. Im useless with networking stuff : /

Just put the PC's you want access to in a safe zone.
