Can't print with 4.2.35.0

I just installed 4.2.35.0 and now I can't print unless I disable the firewalls on both computers. I didn't have this problem with the previous version. I added the IP address of the computers to the trusted zone. What gives?

 

What message is logged in the firewall log if you enable logging of all blocked communication in the IDS setup and reproduce the problem?
I've come across cases when a network printer produced a port scan attack which was subsequently blocked by ESS.

 

The only thing that it says with the IP of the printer hooked to that computer is "Block incoming NETBIOS requests".

 

I don't have any network issues with any of the 4.2 versions since I added a new rule which fully allows netbios in the trusted zone (local network).
Under Advanced Options go to Personal Firewall and select to add a new rule under the heading "Rules with no application assigned".
The direction should be both and Action should be allow. Go to the remote tab and click on zone and then add trusted zone.
When you have ok'd the new rule it should look like this:
Rule Name: Local Netbios
General: Direction: Both Action: Allow Protocol: TCP UDP Profile: For Every
Remote Side: Zone: Trusted Zone
For every port
Local side: For all

I am assuming you have the firewall set to Interactive Mode.

I had lots of issues with the local network until I added this rule. You should also tick all the boxes under IDS and Advanced Options (although Allowing incoming streams from the internet via the IGMP protocol is not necessary and I don't have this ticked).

 

I had the same problem on my home network - I added the subnet to the trusted zone as it did not automatically put it in there and then added the above rule to allow tcp & udp on all ports for the trusted zone and it works now.
But I have one desktop on my work domain that is not joined to the domain that will not connect to domain public shares or printers. I have added both of the above rules and can connect to other clients but not server shares.

 

try to enable UPNP in trusted zone

Does adding the IP address of the remote computer to the list of addresses excluded from active protection (IDS) in the zone setup make a difference?

 

Thank-you,
That worked Doug
