    I have got one of my client has got a simple office network with three laptops (A and B and C),,,,,all of them have got Vista Home edition.

    Those laptops are connected through a modem router.

    He bought a computer B recently and it has a Trend Micro Internet Security installed on it,,,,,,,a USB printer is connected to this B PC to be shared with A and C.

    The other two laptops have not got Trend Micro Internet Security (I am aware of security implication , this is not the issue of our thread)

    the printer is shared but A and C can not ping and can not print.

    I am sure that the problem lies with the Firewall setting for Trend Micro Internet Security, because when I shut down it from A and C I can ping the B and I can print ,,,,while when Trend Micro Internet Security is running I can not ping B and I can not print.

    I tried to search how to configure firewall to enable printer sharing I could not find that

    Thanks

    Have you tried using the ' Office Network' profile under ' Firewall'?
