About the

All EasyLI Done! Series Tutorials are designed to accomplish
specific tasks on a step-by-step basis!
From connecting
two computers together to share files using a crossover cable
to setting up a secured
wireless network connection, these online tutorials are extremely
easy to follow. Although all tutorials were put together with the
novice user (beginner) in mind, advanced users will find a few tricks
to put to use also, such as 'How

Did you know? Firewalls can block you from accessing your own shared
folders and files!
If BlackIce is blocking any of your computers from accessing shared
folders / files, then the blocked computers might be listed under
the 'Intruders'
tab. The blocked computer's name and IP Address will normally be
listed in the right column below 'Details'.
Firewalls are great, but if not properly configured, they can cause
many problems on a network. For instance, programs and games that
used to work fine begin to start crashing (freezing) the computer,
computers start disappearing from the network, and shared folders/files
can no longer be accessed ('Access denied',. '... is not
accessible', and 'You might not have permission...',
'Contact the administrator...', printing over the network
stops working, etc.). Properly configure your firewall to avoid
these problems.

How to Configure
the BlackICE firewall to Allow File Sharing
Firewalls have become necessary for Internet access. However,
if they are not properly configured, they can cause a lot of problems.
Connect your computers together to backup or share your files between them, using a crossover cable. If you have a router, connect all your computers to the router and share internet connections, as well as file sharing! It's easy, it's fast, and best of all, it's now free!
Here's how to configure the BlackICE firewall to allow
file sharing :
