Yes, theXP firewall is designed to protect your computers - primarily
from
incoming connections from the Internet. Unfortunately, this firewall
will
also block communications with your internal network computers. The
good
news is that your router probably includes a firewall which is just as
good
as the one in XP. If so, you don't need the XP firewall. If you want
to
run a firewall on you network computers, use a third party product which
can
be easily configured to allow internal network communication with
specific
computers.

Doug, thank you.

Yes, all my LAN properties firewall is enabled. Is this firewall
supposed
to
protect our office systems, correct? Should I disabled all?

I have enable the NetBIOS over TCP/IP, correct?

Thank you.

On each computer go to Network and Internet connections/Network
connections.
Double click on the Local Area Connection and click the Properties
button:

1. Click the Advanced tab - make sure the firewall is NOT enabled.

2. On the General tab, highlight TCP/IP and click properties.
Click
the
Advanced button, click the WINS tab - make sure NetBIOS is enabled.
