Disabling Windows XP firewalls
Disabling Windows XP firewalls
Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server contain firewalls that are enabled by
default. If these firewalls are enabled, you might not be able to establish network
communications between the management console, management server, and
agents.
Disabling Internet Connection Firewall
Windows XP with Service Pack 1 includes a firewall called Internet Connection
Firewall that can interfere with network communications. If any of your
computers run Windows XP, you can disable the Windows XP firewall before or
after you install Symantec Critical System Protection components.
To disable Internet Connection Firewall
1 On the Windows XP taskbar, click Start > Control Panel.
2 In the Control Panel window, double-click Network Connections.
3 In the Network Connections window, right-click the active connection, and
then click Properties.
