    I have a wireless network. With ZA Free set up on one computer.

    I think my routers IP is 192.168.1.1

    I see that ZA is blocking ICMP communications from 192.168.1.1

    Is it OK to add the router and my network to the trusted zone?

    Yes, I'm a newbie :)

    1. I dont think the free version of ZA supports wirelss, ZA Pro version does.
    2. Might be 192.168.0.1, the normal default for most routers.
    3. When you ran and setup ZA free edition, did it bring up the New Network
    Wizard ? From here you should of choosen Allow into trusted zone also
    followed by Name this network (optional)

    4. Yes (as answer 3 above). Like I said this should of been detected once
    you had installed and setup ZA free edition.

    ZA Pro 6 can be downloaded and trialed from here:

    Zone alarm pro will detect your network, with the free version you have to add your ip and subnet yourself.

    Under zones you can add your home network subnet.
    If your router is 192.168.1.1 then you would add 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 to your trusted zone. You just need to confirm your IP/subnet first which you can do by running "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt (start > run > cmd).

    Regards,

    I confirmed that 192.168.1.1 is my router and that 255.255.255.0 is my subnet. So I added 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 to the trusted zone. I attached a screenshot doc of my trusted zones. Does this look OK?

    Thank you Crazy M (and everyone else that responded).
