Enabling Internet Connection Sharing

If you are using Windows' Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) option, or a third-party connection sharing program, you can protect all of the computers that share the connection from inbound threats by installing Zone Labs security software on the gateway machine only. However, to receive outbound protection, or to see alerts on the client machines, you must have Zone Labs security software installed on the client machines as well.

Before you configure Zone Labs security software, use your ICS software to set up the gateway and client relationships. If you use hardware such as a router to share your Internet connection rather than Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), ensure that the local subnet is in the Trusted Zone.
