Windows XP Network >> Windows Firewall of SP2 slows down LAN sharing Hi,
Tested with XP SP2 to share files with a Windows-2000 client PC, if
Windows Firewall is turned ON, the workgroup computers who are running
on WinXP SP2 will be listed after for a very very long time.

If Windows Firewall is turned OFF, the LAN workgroup computers
connection is established in a very short time, and the files which
are shared will be listed and files are listed in a very short time.

That's a negative point of Windows Firewall.... Comments?

Thanks.

Windows XP322
