Sharing files and printers across a local network

ZoneAlarm Pro enables you to quickly and easily secure your computer so that the trusted machines you're networked with can access your shared resources, but Internet intruders can't use your shares to compromise your system.

To configure ZoneAlarm Pro for secure sharing:

1. Add the network subnet (or, in a small network, the IP address of each computer you're sharing with) to your Trusted Zone. How?
2. Set the Trusted Zone security level to medium. How? This allows trusted computers to access your shared files.
3. Set Internet Zone security level to high. How? This makes your computer invisible to non-trusted machines.

Note ZoneAlarm Pro will detect your network automatically and display the New Network alert. You can use the alert itself to add your network subnet to the Trusted Zone. For more information see the related topic New Network alert.
