Quick answer.<br />
Hadn't used ZA in quite a while. You're right. Don't need ICW.<br />
All I did was add the IP address of the 98 in the Firewall Zones section.<br />
T'was easy and thanks.<br />

No problem,just make sure your 98 machine isn't on DHCP. If it is then the IP address may change, hence the suggestion about use of the machine's host name instead.

XP and 98SE networked through a Linksys 4 Port router to a Cable Modem.<br />
No problem with internet access.<br />
I can only access the XP machine from the 98 by having both Zone Alarm and Internet Connection Firewall disabled. If I enable either one on the XP, I cannot ping from the 98 which blocks file and printer sharing.<br />
There must be a work-around so I don't leave the XP un protected.<br />

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
