Hi
I'm trying to confirm the rule I've amended in the Norton 360 firewall on a laptop running Vista HP for my wireless network. There was a default rule "Block Windows File Sharing" which I have changed to "Allow..." but what I don't understand is that under "Only communications that match all types and ports listed below" it only has "local netbios-ssn (port139)" listed. I'm swapping files OK with a PC running XP on my WLAN in both directions and accessing its printer, but according to Vista Help I should have all these ports open --
UDP 3702, TCP 5357, TCP 5358, UDP 137, UDP 138, TCP 139, UDP 1900 & TCP 2869.
Can someone please enlighten me about this discrepancy.
TIA
