Sharing files and printers across a local network

Zone Labs security software enables you to quickly and easily share your computer so that the trusted computers you're networked with can access your shared resources, but Internet intruders can't use your shares to compromise your system.

To configure Zone Labs security software for secure sharing:

Add the network subnet (or, in a small network, the IP address of each computer you're sharing with) to your Trusted Zone. See Adding to the Trusted Zone .


Set the Trusted Zone security level to Medium. This allows trusted computers to access your shared files. See Choosing security levels .


Set the Internet Zone security level to High. This makes your computer invisible to non-trusted computers. See Setting the security level for a Zone .
