XP and Windows 98 Network
My Microsoft MN-100 wired router went out this weekend and I replaced it with
a Dynex. I followed the setup instructions and both computers have access to the internet; however, I can't seem to reconnect the shared files. I ran the Network Wizard on the XP disk on both the XP computer and the 98 computer. I have checked the File and Print Sharing box in the Windows Firewall exceptions. I'm also running Zone Alarm and the Mapped Drive, DHCP Server and Loopback adapter are "Trusted." I have not changed anything with the exception of adding a new router. Prior to the new router, we could share files across my home network, but not presently. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

The new router might assign IP addresses in a different subnet than your old one. If so, you'll probably have to re-configure ZoneAlarm to trust the new subnet. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Thanks for your response; however, I'm not sure where to start. How do I
tell Zone Alarm to trust the new subnet? How do I establish the new subnet, because I haven't done anything to Zone Alarm in the past? I am assuming that I need to somehow configure the new router, but I'm not sure how to do that either. If you could shed some light on the steps, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the link.
Under Zone Alarm's Firewall tab, I have a Mapped Drive entry, DHCP entry and a Server and Loopback adapter. They are all identified as "Trusted." Shouldn't the second computer in my network have a similar ip address with a different last two numbers? For example, 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2. How do I ensure that this is occurring? Ping? I'm trying to double check everything. Thanks. "Eric Cross" wrote: Hello sheppardwk, If you haven't already, please refer to this which explains how to configure ZoneAlarm.

Using the ipconfig command, I determined that the new ip addresses that the
new router assigned were different than those stored in Zone alarm. Revising the addresses and identifying them as "Trusted" corrected the problem and sharing has been restored. Thanks to those who helped. "sheppardwk" wrote: Thanks for the link. Under Zone Alarm's Firewall tab, I have a Mapped Drive entry, DHCP entry and a Server and Loopback adapter.
