Bitdefender Firewall blocks access to remote computers
I use explorer on a PC to access my remote server, using \\servername.
Bitdefender firewall blocks this.
I have to disable the firewall to access my server.
I have allowed explorer.exe firewall access, but this does not help.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Brian F,
You do nothing wrong, dear member. There are always some small issues here and there.
Maybe this process could help ?

Hi Liobet, thanks! I thought that would be the case, but I have already allowed explorer.exe through the firewall. I am not sure what other application I would have to allow.

Depending on the network you are connected to, the firewall may block the connection between your system and another device such as another PC, a scanner, or a printer. I would recommend setting a firewall rule to allow the IP address by following the steps from this article:
Let us know if this worked for you.
