Home Network

Hello,

I have an issue with my firewall, when it is on I cannot access the share documents from another PC. The PC with the firewall is running XP, and the one that I cannot access is running Vista. The other way is working perfect as soon as I want to get in I am in, no strings attached, but when I want to access the documents from the PC running Vista I need to disable the firewall from the PC running XP. Any suggestions?

Thank you, Shloime

1.  Windows XP.  Is this the firewall supplied by Microsoft?  If so, have you enabled the "File and Printer Sharing" exception within the Windows firewall?

To access:
     o  Click Start and then click Control Panel.
     o  In the control panel, click Security Center, and then click Windows Firewall.
     o  On the Exceptions tab, under Programs and Services, select the check box for the program or service that you want to allow, and then click OK.

Thank you, it worked!!!
