Hiya,

Just got a laptop, and I want my PC which is upstairs to be able to share files/documents and printer with. Have run Network setup wizard on both, and as I use a router I chose "uses a gateway" for both. However, they aren't seeing each other- I think it's down to Zone Alarm, as it blocked an incoming connection from the PC upstairs whilst i was on the laptop. Does anyone know a way round this? Or if I've made an error in setting it up this way! Do I have to install printer drivers on the laptop as well as up here?
Ta.
