setup firewall to allow access from one LAN PC
Hi,
I have kaspersky internet suite 2010. I have 2 networks one is Internet set as "public network" and other is my network card set as "Local network". By default i have protection from all intruders from outside the LAN, but i any PC from LAN can access my shared folders for example (or access my webserver). What i want to add is to limit all LAN users except one(or two) for accessing my resources. Can i set this configuration somehow? Should it be based on IP address or MAC address?
thanks

I use Kaspersky as well, but even with the steps done on Discusfish responce wont work unless Kaspersky is configured correctly.
The options are in the GUI, you just need to find and add trusts for IP or subnet.
If you are still having issues, check windows firewall too, both can be running at the same time.

However, you'd be better off restricting your shares by usernames and passwords, so that if you end up on another machine and want to access the share, you can. As you don't say which OS you're using, I can't tell you how to do that :)
