RE: File Sharing from Client to SBS2003 Problem

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your reply.

We can do as following:

1. On the SBS server, click Start and click Server Management.

2. Expand Advanced Management -> Group Policy Management -> Forest ->
Domains -> your domain, right-click Small Business Server Windows Firewall
and click Edit.

3. In Group Policy Object Editor, expand Computer Configuration ->
Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Connections -> Windows
Firewall.

4. Select Domain Profile, double-click Windows Firewall: Allow file and
printer sharing exception and enable it.

For more information, you may need to refer to the following documents:

| Crina,
| We are making PROGRESS! YIPPY!
|
| I installed the patchs and when I disable the Windows firewall, I am able
| access the files and printers from the Server. I was able to re-enable
| Norton Firewall and configure it to allow me to access the files and
| printers. But, when I re-enable Windows Firewall, I am unable to
access
| the files and printers. So, we can say. That it is truely a Firewall
issue.
|
| When I went to configure the Firewall, I went into the Exceptions Tab and
| noticed that File and Printer Sharing was enabled (still dimmed). I
selected
| that field and hit the Edit button. It says that it is only allow
| configurations for that Subnet. When I clicked Change Scope, everything
was
| dimmed in that configuration screen and I am unable to change it.
Therefore,
| I need to open that so I can change it, or edit my group policy (which I
| think would be better) to make the changes.
|
| I wanted to put in a Custom list so that only clients on my network could
| access the files and printers. How would I write the scope if I have
| computers in the following subnets.
|
| 192.168.1.x through 192.168.7.x
|
| Again, thanks for your help. We are getting very close.
