Title: Firewall
Post by: foleyjo on February 01, 2006, 05:52:56 PM

When I connect my A1200 to my laptop I have to turn off the firewall or I dont get a connection. This in turn turns off the firewall on my wireless internet connection which means to be safe I need to turn off my internet.
Is there a way to just turn the firewall off on my LAN conenction to Amiga?? :-?

You mean you can't just forward all the ports that the Amiga is using ?

maybe you can connect the 1200 with another pcmcia net card on laptop without the firewall between them on, and bridge the 2 networks for share the internet and files to amiga


-edit-
the bridge process you will do it in the laptop

Don't use Windows' security center to disable the firewall. Go to the properties of the connnection in My Network Places and disable it only for that connection.
