Paul,In response to Ben's query on Zone Alarm I have the following set in the firewall tab, this is using the free version on ZA.
FS PC 'Trusted' Zone (This is my second PC on my LAN)
Realtek adaptor 'Trusted' Zone (This is the LAN NIC on the 'server' PC)
ICS share adaptor is on the Internet Zone
I have trusted and Internet zones set to medium security. I think the trusted zone needs medium security for ACARS to work, but I may be wrong.
I am also not sure if removing ZA from the start-up section fully stops it working. There are two modules to ZA; ZA itself and a 'True Vector Service' which I think does the monitoring bit of za.
I would make sure neither of those are running.
