re: Home Networking works only one way Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at 1:02 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MikeB (47 messages posted) RandyM, try temporarily disabling your PC's firewall/internet security and then run the Network Setup Wizard (even if you have run it before). If 2-way connection is then available, you will know that the problem lies with the firewall. If this is, indeed, the problem then consult the firewall manual or contact the manufacturer. If all this makes no difference, then I hope someone more knowledgeble can help you through this site On Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at 8:23 am, RandyM wrote: >I have a small home network set up. 4 pc's 2 with XP 2 with Vista > >Both XP boxes have printers attached.
