One's In Bold are set to manual it's just that I used to disable these I just did a reformat and haven't done it yet. Just wondering which ones do I need to set-up a network between 2 PC's I have a Linksys AG241 wired router and settings are in that for the 2 PC's and XBOX 360 to instantly get online.

The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service isn't required for an internet connection.

It was my understanding that you need TCP/IP installed to access the internet, don't know if that's the same as the helper service listed above.

No, it's not, that NetBIOS, which may cause problems for people that don't need LANs.
NetBIOS can cause unnecessary open ports.

If you don't require a LAN, you don't require NetBIOS.

Are them 3 above in my last post correct for a network for 2 PCs and a router.

Personally I wouldn't use zone alarm, it's not great, i've heard good things about 'Comodo'.

I just started using Comodo again. Great tool for the uber user.

I had to move all of my clients off Zone alarm after the DNS update fiasco.

Couldn't say for sure about those three services though.

You also need Server if you want to share files.
