For what it's worth, I have found ZoneAlarm to be problematic when attempting to file share between Windows PCs. Even after you designate a zone to be low security, even after you tell it a certain IP address is to be trusted, even when you dial everything down, it still manages to block shared folders. I don't really know what the fix is.

Mine is to turn off ZoneAlarm whenever I need to share a folder.
