Windows Forum / Windows Me / Networking / March 2004networking xp to me
Followed Microsoft Knowledge Base 826812 Connecting XP to ME Home Networking, Install TCP/IP on ME computer. But it doesn't install. All I get on reboot is a networking diconnect icon. Cannot get the computers to recognize MSHOME network, suspect the protocols are different. The article above adresses that but it doesn't work for me. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Turn off the XP firewall. > Followed Microsoft Knowledge Base 826812 Connecting XP to > ME Home Networking, Install TCP/IP on ME computer.

How exactly are you trying to connect the two computers? With what hardware? A "network cable disconnected" icon in the tray means exactly that, no physical connection is present. It has nothing to do with protocols.  SignatureRichard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] rgharper@email.com * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

Each computer is physically linked to a D Link Router. The D Link is linked to a modem. hmmm maybe I should go back to LinkSys router. >-----Original Message----- >How exactly are you trying to connect the two computers?

Configure NIS to allow file and printer sharing by opening the following ports. TCP 139, 445; UDP 137, 138, 445. Preferably only between trusted ip addresses. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. >I was having the same problems. I had Zone alarm on the ME computer. It was >the free version.

You need to put the local area network in the Trusted Zone, not the Internet Zone.

Q: Steve, if you put the router address, usually the base address of the LAN in trusted zone, will ZA then recognize internet traffic coming through there as also trusted? I know this doesn't happen with ZAP, but not so sure about the freebie. If not sure, I'll do my own tests and post back, thanks.

Internet traffic comes from public IP addresses on the Internet, not from the router's IP address. Putting the router's subnet in the Trusted Zone allows un-solicited incoming traffic from IP addresses on local area network to come in. It has no effect on un-solicited traffic from the Internet. Internet IP addresses are in the Internet Zone and will be blocked, provided that you've set the security level for the Internet Zone to the recommend setting of High.
