Hi,

What would I need to do to make VSS2005 and Windows Firewall work in
harmony?

I already have File and print sharing ticked in firewall, but still only
works if firewall is turned off

Thanks
Jared

Hi Jared,

Usually, the Windows Firewall prompts you to enable an application's access
to the network. At least this is how it's configured on my computer at work.
So if that's the case, just allow VS2005 to access the network.

Otherwise, please ask for the network administrator's / IT dept assistance
to help you configure the firewall properly. I guess Microsoft Networking
should be enabled in the firewall configuration and that'll be enough.
