Sorry for the delay but this problem had a pretty simple work around and so it constantly kept being pushed to the back burner.<br />

Thanks for the help - I am splitting the points because both answers are essentially correct. &nbsp;mtz1of4 was more concise but netnounours answered much earlier ... so 50/50 split.

I am trying to share printers across a wireless network and have installed PC-cillin internet security 2007 on the computers hosting the printers. &nbsp; Since installing the antivirus/firewall I cannot find an acceptable setting that will allow the printers to be shared without turning off the firewall. &nbsp; There are some standard presets that say wireless home or wireless office but they evidently are too secure to allow printer sharing. &nbsp;I need to share those printers but have some level of security. &nbsp;Your ideas are appreciated.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
