Is2011 Firewall And Network Problems

walt113

I looked for similar posts and didn't see any. I have two computers hardwired to a wireless router and one printer connected via wireless. When the firewall is enabled on both computers, they can't communicate with each other. Also, I can't print any documents from either computer to the printer. When both firewalls are disabled, everything is fine. I did go to the NETWORK tab and attempt to connect the two, but could not do it until the firewalls were disabled. I disabled the firewalls again and set up both of them on a network OK, server and regular. After enabling the firewalls there was again no communication between the two. I have Win 7 Pro and IS 2011on both boxes. Let me know if any more info is needed and thanks for any solutions. Walt

Hi Walt,

Follow the steps below and let me know if the issue persist:

1. Open BitDefender Security Center

2. Switch to Expert View from the Options button

3. Go to Firewall tab

4. Go to the Network sub-menu

5. Make the following changes for the network adapter you are currently using:

- Network type: Trusted (allow all)

- VPN: No

- Stealth Mode: Off

- Generic: Yes

Do the same settings on both PCs and test to see if the issue still occurs.

Looking forward to your answer!
