Apologies for the discrepancyDomain connected? Workgroup?
Workgroup
Everything I do is in a domain and they have no problem connecting to
each other for file and print sharing.
I know about homegroups and not trying to make one.VanguardLH said:Don't use Windows 7's homegroup. Change it to use a workgroup. Use the
SAME workgroup name for all hosts you want to share files between.
Homegroups can only be used between Windows 7 hosts.

You're on your toes today Seth. Well doneSeth said:Did'ja read the question?
No Relic I didn't try Homegroup. I saw enoughrelic said:You didn't take Windows 7's "Homegroup" default, did you? It won't work
with anything except other Window 7 machines.
I just did some extra work on Kerio.relic said:You didn't take Windows 7's "Homegroup" default, did you? It won't work

I use Kerio 2.1.5 on both WinNT4 and WinXP with no problems and am verySince I am the boss here, I click Admin
configuration (for better or worse )
and then enter the password that I use to logon.
Kerio goes to sleep.
Try Comodo or Agnitum firewalls (free). I've heard nothing bad about eitherJD said:I just did some extra work on Kerio.
I close Kerio. Next I connect the two computers and they work very well.
Next I open the Kerio Admin. Program. It pops open a small window with:
Kerio Personal Firewall (as the name of the window)
A radio button with a choice of:
Local Host or Remote Computer (Hostname or IP address) with a slot for
the hostname or the address.
Because the firewall is on the Win2K - the local host - it has the
firewall and I click
local host.
The next line is
Authorize using:
Connect to one of (2 radio button choices): Admin Configuration or Status
Window.
Since I am the boss here, I click Admin configuration (for better or worse
)
and then enter the password that I use to logon. Kerio goes to sleep.
Meantime I can drag and drop files to my heart's content with the firewall
down and I
have to reboot to get it back up.
Thanks C.R. That's the bit I missed. I'm on NetBook at present - willCarroll said:I use Kerio 2.1.5 on both WinNT4 and WinXP with no problems and am very

Did you enter your Windows logon password or the password for Kerio? There
can be separate passwords for Administration and the Statistics views.
Under Administration, press the Advanced button to open the Firewall
Configuration window. Select the Microsoft Networking tab. Tick "For
Microsoft Networking Use These Rules Instead of Filter Rules". Tick "Allow
Microsoft Network Name Resolution". Tick "Allow Other Users to Access My
Shared Folders/Printers". Optionally tick any of the other boxes. If you
tick a "trusted" box then you need to setup the Trusted Address Group.
Thank you C.R. and Relic. I had a good day today - seeTry Comodo or Agnitum firewalls (free). I've heard nothing bad about
