Windows Workgroup issues with forceware

[shahman]

I've set up a new computer that uses Nvidia's forceware NVFirewall as a the hardware based firewall. Now other computers on the network are having touble conecting to the new one. I've used the wizards to make sure the correct ports are open for the Windows Printer & File sharing.

The only time I can connect is when NVfirewall is shut down. Then the other computers can connect. Once connected the firewall can be tuned back on and the connection between the computers remains.

Has anyone seen these issues? Am I missing some config info?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would guess config issues. Most firewalls will accept packets when the connection state between the two is in an established state.


Get file sharing working, turn F/W back on, reboot other box, and try and connect again (close session, so new session state will not be "established")
