Thanks for the quick response, Steve. Unfortunately I don't understand
this very well.

I had thought, that my computer would be inaccessible, if the
ZoneAlarm lock was engaged, and what I wanted to do was to include my
little 2 computer network in the ZoneAlarm "trusted" zone. However
after your response I noticed that with the lock on, I could still
access this computer from my Laptop.

 I'm concerned that if I leave this computer on 24/7 so that the other
can access my printer, and more importantly, my C drive, then I worry
that others can tap in, as well.

Am I being paranoid ?
