Network setup and firewall

I have a problem with network setup and firewall. I have three computers in my network that are connected via router. All three computers are running on Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 installed. On one computer (the one that was accessing Internet before I made a network) I have ZoneAlarm installed and this computer can not connect to other nor other computers can connect to it. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hello. Having firewall on home network computers which are behind a router is not a must. Router acts like a hardware firewall and you will be protected with properly configured router. The best thing you can do here is to uninstall ZoneAlarm because it is well known of making problems in networks. If you need firewall then install some other one.
