I just installed Windows Live OneCare after a Windows Update caused Zone Alarm to block internet access. My home network includes one wired desktop, one wireless desktop, one wired/wireless laptop and a wireless laptop. The wired computers are connected through a Linksys 16-port switch to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and then to a cable modem.
I wanted to try Windows Live OneCare on only one computer, the wired/wireless laptop, before putting it on any other computers. I also have a network storage drive containing two 500GB hard drives, and it is connected to my network via the 16-port switch.
Looking at the firewall configuration, I cannot recognize my network, which has the default mshome name. I do see the ComCast network, which is my ISP, but am uncertain about what zone it should be in, Work/Home or Public. I also see my wired network adapter, and a couple of unknown network connections (unknown to me or the firewall), which may be my wireless adapter and possibly the Bluetooth connection.
When I try to access my router's web-based utility setup page, the screen is blank; no error messages, just blank (on Internet Explorer). I need this access to manage the router and I would like to know what the various network connections are and what zone they should be in. Zone Alarm was somewhat clearer about this.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
