I am trying to add another computer to my network and I am having difficulty getting past the firewall. QUOTE The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer (new computer) (NetBIOS Session) from laptop (current computer) (IP address) (TCP Port #)(TCP Flags: S) The new computer shows up on the network and does have limited access (https sites only) All settings are identical on both machines. Any suggestions would be helpful. Windows XP SP2 Zone Alarm Free - Firewall Avast - Anti Virus Thanks, OCD |

paws,
I checked all the settings and there doesn't seem to be any reason why it cannot access the internet fully. Also, discovered that the new computer can access and download email. So it appears it just won't access unsecured (http) websites. Any other suggestions? OCD |

Hi,
Try putting your browser security settings to default and ensuring that none of your security products are blocking access Regards paws |
