Vista firewall and file & printer sharing
I am sharing a printer on my Vista Home Premium machine with two other PCs on
a wireless network. Sharing works fine provided the "File and Printer Sharing" checkbox is ticked on the Exceptions tab in the Windows Firewall Settings. The problem is that every time the machine with the printer attached is restarted, the firewall appears to have forgotten that the File and Printer Sharing checkbox was ticked. How can I ensure that the firewall always allows File and Printer Sharing?

Vista firewall and file & printer sharing
Hi Chuck
Thanks for responding. The Network Location Type is set to Private. I am using Windows firewall on all 3 computers, but no other firewall. All 3 compuers are running Kaspersky anti-virus. I have read your articles you referred to in your reply, but still cannot work out what my problem is. Any suggestions?

Kaspersky Personal Firewall has been noted here a few times as causing workgroup segmentation (blocking browser SMBs). As has KAV which may have an antiworm component.

Vista firewall and file & printer sharing
Thanks again Chuck
I have e-mailed Kaspersky support for advice. I'll let you know the outcome.

Vista firewall and file & printer sharing
Hi Chuck
On Kaspersky's advice I have tried uninstalling Kaspersky Anti Virus (KAV) and seeing whether the Firewall remembers that the "File and Printer Sharing" checkbox should be ticked on the Exceptions tab. However, uninstalling KAV made no difference, so I've reinstalled it. In the process of testing the effectiveness of removing KAV I restarted the computer about 6 times, and noticed that on one occasion the firewall did remember the ticked exception box - but only on one occasion and repeated testing did not reproduce the event. If you can suggest anything else I could do I would be very grateful. Kind regards Nick "NickM" wrote: Thanks again Chuck I have e-mailed Kaspersky support for advice. I'll let you know the outcome.

Nick, Any time you un install anything security related, looking at LSP / Winsock damage is a good idea. Some tools, I believe, are Vista compliant. Remember to run everything as administrator. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...-layer-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
