Hi Experts,

I have a Kerio 2.1 Personal Firewall that works
great for the Internet but it is blocking
a local LAN connecting a Win2K desktop and a Win7
starter Netbook. Win2K has the Kerio and Win 7 has
its own firewall. I read through the instructions
but they give no indication how to poke a hole
through the firewall to let Win2K see Win 7 and
vice-versa.

If anyone knows how, please advise.

TIA

If you have a NAT router connecting your LAN to the Internet, then you
don't need a PFW at all, let alone THREE of them. I learned that the
other day.

The first thing to check is if the firewalls are the problem.

Disconnect from the Internet, and turn the firewalls off. Can you browse
both machines now?

Hello JD,
please ignore all the kATs, they haven't beed fed for a day or two and
they're getting a bit silly.

It's not a problem having three firewalls on your system, all you need
to do is find the setting on each of them to allow the others to pass
thru. Problem solved.

It needs saying.
