is the firewall a software one on your computer, coming to think of it a firewall shouldn't matter if your on a LAN. and the srahing of that folder shouldn't matter either.

 

what game and version and whats your OS.

firewall is softwear standard xp stuff this has just got me head scratchen :?:

Make sure both computers are patched to Zero Hour v1.02. Grab it from http://www.cncnz.com/files/zero_hour/patches.shtml

 

Also check that your actually extracting the map to the right folder as well. It should be My DocumentsCommand and Conquer Generals Zero Hour DataArea51.
