I was thinking about the symptoms of my dead computer and started wondering if it wasn't the CMOS battery that had died instead of the computer.
That was the problem. After startup, it POST'ed and stopped were it did before, but striking the F2 key continued the startup this time. I adjusted the date and time and it doesn't seem any worse for wear.
Now I have a third computer on the network.
I have a question about the one that was resurected. I configured ZoneAlarm with the correct IP addresses for access with the firewall up, but this computer can't see the other two.
The other two can see each other and both can see the old computer.
All IP's have been double checked and permissions set, but it still doesn't see them.
If I shut down ZA, then everything is fine. Is anyone familiar with configuring ZA for a network? Anything I might have missed in the set-up?
