Hi,

I’ve been reading all the articles, posts regarding how to set the windows firewall to allow scans but I just can’t get it working. I work in a domain enviroment, and have set the windows firewall to allow the relavent ICMP access, plus the REMOTEADMIN service, but still it wont accept a scan. If I turn the firewall off it scans it perfectly!..

I’m at a loss.

Thanks,

Rick

Rick,

Was the Netsh command performed on the remote computer?

When you ran the Netsh command what result did you get?

Which Firewall are you disabling completely the Spiceworks machine or the remote machine’s Firewall?

I know we had similar issues dealing with 7 subnets. We had to configure the firewalls by adding the spicework subnet to as a trusted network.

Good info thanks for the input

Hi,

The netsh command returned the correct result. I’ve also tried pushing this out through group policy. There’s no firewall on the spiceworks machine, so this is just the windows firewall on the xp client.

All machines are within the same subnet.

I’m thinking something is just not taking on the firewall settings, it’s very strange. I’m happy to keep plugging away with this, but I’ve also just turned off the firewall via group policy for the time being, we’ve started roling out sophos firewall on certain machines and this works perfectly with Spiceworks.

Thanks for the replies.

Rick
