Hi,

What port do you need to have open to allow XP SP1 computer to connect to a
XP SP2 computer with the firewall on? I can use run (XPSP1 ip address) and
access the files, but if I use run (XPSP2 ip address) I can`t access the
files, unless I turn off the firewall.

I don`t know what port it uses when accessing another computers files. My
computers that have XPSP2 have no problems accessing other computers with
XPSP2 on it, just the XPSP1 can`t access the XPSP2 computers with the
firewall on. Thanks for any help.

Jeff
