IE/Firefox and Smart Security

I have installed SS and have no problem with accessing the internet on automatic firefall but have problems with accessin gthe network print server. When I change the firewall to interactive, the print server works but then have no internet access. Changing back to automatic brings back the internet and but disallows the printer server.

BTW, I have allowed the print server manually when asked in interactive mode.

Thanks for any assistance

I Believe you have to turn the Network to Sharing.. there should be a setting when you click on Firewall in advance mode. that says something about changing the network should be the bottom Option try changing it to sharing see if that fix's your problem.

It is called "Allow sharing" mode . Can be changed from the Advanced setup tree -> Personal firewall settings (search for the Trusted zone setup) . Note - you enter the Advanced setup tree with F5 key from the keyboard

Also , have a look at the IDS settings and make sure "File and printer sharing" is allowed for the trusted zone

Sometimes yes. its kind of set and forget but then again all GOOD AV's are that way.
