Hi Nick, I was traveling all day yesterday, and just got hime. What I did when I had a similar setup is just use XP Firewall on the PC that was hooked up to the internet, and also left it on 24/7. No firewall on the other PC. I would think using zonealarm on the internet PC would be OK, but never tried it. I'm now using a router, and no firewalls other that the built in router firewall. So if everything starts working, then don't Shutoff the Main PC, the laptop shuting down is OK though.
