Home Network Printing through Firewall

Posted: 09-11-2003, 02:40 PM
My Network Printer does not work when the firewall (ICF)
is enabled. It is a USB printer attached to another
computer on my home network. It is shared and works fine
with the ICF off. What are the settings when adding the
printer as an allowed ICF SERVICE, namely EXTERNAL AND
INTERNAL PORT NUMBERS? I know the IP address.

Thanks

The built in firewall is not designed for use on a LAN.

Use third party software such as Zone Labs' Zone Alarm. www.zonelabs.com
