I have an issue where one PC occasionally can't see another PC on my home network. The communication
is being blocked by "Default block EPMAP" however this is below the rule that permits EPMAP for computers
in the same subnet.
Both PCs have two NICs, one is for internet access and another is for LAN access. Specifically the LAN
uses the 10.x.x.x range with a mask of 255.0.0.0. If the allow rule says "Any computer in the local subnet"
and this rule is ABOVE the deny rule, why is the deny rule blocking access from the two PCs when both
are on 10.x.x.x / 255.0.0.0?
I have "Automatic File/Printer Sharing" off, both PCs on the 10.x.x.x are in the "Shared" group on the network
map and I also have "Automatic Program Control" off. Lastly, the IP associated with the NIC for internet access
for both machines is in the "Restricted" group in the network map.
