To further clarify, on the &quot;client&quot; computers,<br />
<br />
1. Do I have to allow access inbound/outbound of each of these ports or just outbound? &nbsp;I do not want the computers to be able to read/write to the other client computers, just the file server.<br />
2. Which of these do I need to allow?<br />
&nbsp; - UDP<br />
&nbsp; - TCP<br />
&nbsp; - ICMP<br />
<br />

I have a network of about 7 computers, all running WinXP Pro (SP2). &nbsp;We have Symantec Client Security 3 (which includes Symantec Firewall) installed on all our computers.<br />
<br />
We have one computer dedicated as a file server. This computer has groups/users set up so that users can only access directories where they have permissions. &nbsp;When someone logs on from one of the other computers, they get access to the correct directories, etc until.... I enable the Firewall.<br />
<br />
I need all the computers to be able to read/write to our file server. &nbsp;How do I setup the Firewall to allow this to happen? &nbsp;Is there certain ports (or something else) that I can allow so this can happen?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

How To Enable File Sharing With Symantec Firewall

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
