I have a shared folder on a wired computer and I am unable to access it from a wireless computer with NIS 2010 Smart Firewall enabled on the wired computer. My setup worked fine until I purchased a new router. NIS 2010 is blocking the connection.
I have the Cisco WRVS4400N. I’ve determined that turning off the Smart Firewall on the wired computer allows the wireless computer to connect. Both machines have NIS 2010 installed on them and are up to date.
I’m using Trust Control to block all computers by default and I’ve added the IP and MAC address of those computers I trust (i.e. wireless computer). It’s almost as if NIS 2010 isn’t recognizing the IP and MAC address from the wireless connection. I have noticed that the new router’s wireless feature has its own IP and MAC which I tried adding to Trust Control and the problem still persists.
If both computers are wired everything works fine. Anyone ever experienced this?
