I bought a new HP computer with MS Vista Home Premium and am trying to network my old Dell Windows XP Home. I got the network working with HP's help. But HP tells me that for the network to work, I have to turn-off firewalls on both computers because it is a MS Vista issue. They seem to be right because when I turn off the firewalls, I can access folders from both computers and share printer. But when I turn-on the firewalls, neither computer can be accessed from the other. Is there a work around this problem? I do not want to operate the network with firewalls turned-off for obvious reasons. Any help and guidance is appreciated.
My setup is as follows - Cable Modem to Netgear Wireless Router
Bothe computers hard-wired by ethernet cable to the Netgear Router
Both computers in the same work group - "WORKGROUP"
IP addresses in the same range and subnet mask the same

Hello,
Check your firewall configuration manual.., i think you could find some way.

Arul
I believe you are using Windows firewall, all you need to do is find out what ports are used when access a shared folder and once you know the port open those ports in the firewall and away you go.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
