Zone alarm configuration for 2 pc network?

Does anybody know if the free version of Zone Alarm can be configured to allow 2 pc's to share an internet connection?

I have 2 pc's both running XP home and both with zone alaram free version. My main pc is connected to the internet via a cable modem. I have 2 nic's in the main pc...one is connected to the cable modem and the other connected to the 2nd pc's nic via a category 5e crossover cable.

I have added each pc's ip address to the trusted zone in zone alarm and am able to file share etc between the 2 pc's but I cannot get access to the internet from the 2nd pc. I have enabled ICS on the cable modem LAN connection and can see the internet gateway on the 2nd pc. Internet works fine on the main pc.

I cannot ping the 2nd pc from the main pc and vice versa.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks.

Forgot to add that my version of Zone Alarm is the latest free one, version 4.5.

Only the plus and Pro versions support ICS. Yu can lower your internet security to medium (not recomeded) or get a router, or some people have been able to run a proxy server on the gateway machine, and let the client surf thru the proxy.
