Solve : I have to disable firewall every time I want to connect from 2

1.	Solve : I have to disable firewall every time I want to connect from 2nd pc?
Answer» Hi, this isn't a huge issue, just a minor annoyance: When I start up my second computer, I can't access the internet unless I go to the primary computer, disable the firewall for the connection to the second PC, and then I can GET on the internet. The weird part is that I can then enable the firewall and I can access the internet fine, even if I close the internet browser, or load a different one. Both have xp, primary has sp3, secondary has sp1. would that be the reason? How do you have the permissions setup on the 2nd machine ? ?YEah, as far as I know, unless there's another way to set it up. I went through network connections "properties" tab..Both machines in the same Workgroup ? ?Quote from: patio on February 02, 2009, 08:14:29 AM Both machines in the same Workgroup ? ? Yup, but I had both machines in the workgroup and then had to readd the secondary after I reinstalled WINDOWS(this was a while ago, and I can't remember if the problem was present before I reinstalled windows, but I don't think so. Not 100% on that, though). Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, been ill.Feel Better... If Windows was re-installed on either machine you have to set the Network up from scratch again...Quote from: patio on February 09, 2009, 09:51:32 AM Feel Better... If Windows was re-installed on either machine you have to set the Network up from scratch again... Thanks. Anything SPECIAL to do to remove the network FIRST?
