Network Connection Failure

[Guest Marina]

I have a similar problem as Maurice. I have two XP computers networked.

After the Microsoft update I lost connectivity on the Host computer, but

could still access internet on Client computer. After downloading the latest

version of Zone Alarm Security Suite and reloading the MS update, now my

client computer cannot access internet. I get an invalid IP address that

cannot be repaired. I have tried disabling ZA on Host computer, but client

still will not connect. Client computer has Windows firewall on, btw. It is

not an adapter problem on the client, since I can connect to the internet

using an unprotected wireless network. The client computer does not have the

MS update on it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cannot find a solution

on the Zone Alarm or Linksys sites.
