Firewall Issue?
We have a network which has two PC's on a domain network of Windows SBS 2003
R2, each workstation (one a Desktop, the other a laptop) is being blocked by a Firewall when installing HP software for its scanner. HP has said numerous times to disable the firewall. However, on the workstation, the option to disable or to enable is grayed out. Any idea as to how to turn the gray off and give us (me) control to either enable or disable the firewall. When I click on the option to do this, it's states above: "Windows Firewall is using your domain settings." Please advise? |

If you're lucky, you can override this with gpedit.msc (Start-Run-gpedit.msc) Local Computer Policy - Computer Configuration - Administrative Template- Network - Network Connections - Windows Firewall - Domain Profile - Windows Firewall: protect all network connections. From the Description: Turns on Windows Firewall, which replaces Internet Connection Firewall on all computers that are running Windows XP Service Pack 2. If you enable this policy setting, Windows Firewall runs and ignores the "Computer Configuratian\Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections\Prohibit use of Internet connection Firewall on your DNS domain network" policy setting. If you disable this policy setting, Windows Firewall does not run. This is the only way to ensure that Windows Firewall does not run and administrators who log on locally cannot start it. HTH, John |
