Firewall

[T Saravana]

When we install McAfee Personal Firewall my system is not
able to share any folder. Sometime reboots when accessed
to mapped drive. My PC is on LAN.

Anybody help me.

thanks

To share files, hopefully all you need to do is configure the firewall to
allow the typical "file and printer sharing" ports:
TCP 139, TCP 445, UDP 137, UDP 138.
If you've got the time, I'd do some testing with your lan to see if your
network needs all of them open or whether you can get away with only having
the tcp ports open (fewer open fixed ports is typically better).

I'd also check with McAfee to see if they have any updates that might
address the odd reboot problem.
