If anyone is using Zone alarm pro on cable modem or ADSL this should be an issue.

 

Des 

 

 Similair to Internet Explorer ZoneAlarm Pro (ZAP) has security settings

for Local and Internet.

However ZAP in certain cases classifies connections as Local when they

really aren't Local. All connections that have the same 2 octets as your

IP (ex. Your ip 123.123.123.123 -> 123.123.*.*) are also considered

Local.

This means everyone on with the same two first octet's of your IP can

connect to your computer under local level security settings instead of

the internet level security settings.
