Netguard Firewall kills workgroups ??
 
Turning Netguard Firewall on stops PCs in my home workgroup being accesed - I "don't have the permission to access ..."
If I turn Netguard Firewall off but leave Windows Firewall on all is OK.
Can anyone tell me how to configure Netguard Firewall to allow access within a workgroup?

I've personally not used netguard (because it's crap - sorry) but you will have to add a Firewall rule (if it's at all possible) to let traffic through on your home network for instance add an "Allow All" rule from your IP arrange which of course I don't know but it COULD be 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254

:erm: If you've got a local network, you already have a router with at least a NAT firewall. It should be good enough to stick with XP SP2's own firewall.
If you really want another firewall, search this forum for 'free firewall recommendations' - iirc Comodo's firewall comes well recommended.

BTW, :welcome: to CF - hope you stick around.
