Hello Marina,

After running CEICW everything works.
However, I had to enable the firewall as you said.

Without firewall enabled, I still get following message when trying to
connect from home to my server (see below)
If I check manually the security on the remote directory, only local IP (in
my case 10.0.0.4) and loopback adapter (127.0.0.1) are allowed.
I don't want the integrated firewall, so is it safe to change these IP
restrictions manually?
