I use adsl with a simple network (ad hoc) via linksys (802.11b) wusb11 and wpc11 on 2 pc's with w2000. Both pc's have trend Micro pc cillin 2004 installed.
Without firewall enabled both PC's connect fine however with personal firewall enabled I cannot get a response from either.
I have tried all options under firewall (direct connection, home netwok, office network and wireless network) to no avail. I have also used exceptions to allow NetBios and WDSP ports (all) access from/to both machines still with no success.
Bottom line is I can get a good connection without the personal firewall enabled, but can get no connection with personal firewall on - it must be something I am missing but I cant see it.
Can u help pls? :tazz:

Have you tried adding the home netork IP range to the list of trusted zones/places or the equivalent? Also go in and check to see what is already blocked, sometimes I block stuff on accident and have to go find it in there and allow it.

Thanks but no luck. The home network IP range is blank in the pref table, and there is nothing blocked in that section. Its strange but when I open the firewall right up it still wont allow traffic, yet when I disable the frewall, traffic has no problem getting thru

If the Home Network Ip range is blank, then add it in there and make sure it is allowed.

OK, I now have all ports on WDSP and NetBios to the target pc IP address, (I know this gets a connection by pinging). However I have no network connection thru the firewall
