Inappropriate?Wladimir, Thank you for posting your question. First please open Sunbelt Personal Firewall. You can do that by double-clicking the purple shield icon, which is in the bottom-right of your screen, near the system clock.
Then, click the Network Security tab, found on the left. Now on the right you'll see a list of applications. Find the one called "Any other application."
Click each of the 4 columns until the columns read ASK ASK ASK ASK. Then click the Apply Button.
Now, try running all your Internet programs now. Notice Sunbelt Personal Firewall will pop up with a dialog box that asks you to click "PERMIT" or "DENY" to an application. Be sure to CHECK the check box above these choices so you can make a rule for this application, and then click the "PERMIT" button. Do this for each time you receive the message. Use your programs as normal for a few minutes until you are sure you've got every program setup.
Sunbelt Personal Firewall has now made a rules for these programs. Go back to Sunbelt Personal Firewall where we were and change "Any Other Application" back so they read in this order: DENY PERMIT DENY PERMIT by clicking each of the 4 columns until they are changed to those values, then click Apply.
The following settings need to be made in order to allow file and print sharing for your home network.
Under network security, select the predefined tab and hit "Set to defaults".
Next select the trusted area and make sure that local area connection has a check mark in it.
Then under applications set "Microsoft file and printer sharing" to permit for both in and out under trusted.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?I now and use the Sunbelt Personal Firewall's ability to create rules, but this do not works with windowsXP remote desktop client. In my Instance of Sunbelt Personal Firewall the 4 columns from "Any other application" are every time switched to ASK ASK ASK ASK.
I try to control a other computer in my network with windowsXP remote desktop - remote computer. On the remote computer, when I switch Sunbelt Personal Firewall to "off" it works very fine. When I activate Sunbelt Personal Firewall, I do not get access to the remote computer. -
Inappropriate?Wladimir,
Try this, In the network security tab set the "Generic host process for win32 process" option to Permit for trusted and internet In and out. Then see if you are still unable to use remote desktop.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

Hello Peterh,
"Generic host process for win32 process" is already "Permit" for all this.
It dos not help.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Wladimir,
It might not be the network security rules causing the problem. Try this, click the intrusions tab, and uncheck the option to enable NIPS and then click OK. Then see if you can get remote desktop to work.
if this is the case we can get some log information from you to help determine what rule causing it so that we can resolve it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Peterh,
it works!
I think you need the logs "ids.log".
I find the entrys:
[07/Apr/2009 16:31:08] Ids.cpp: "Ids" action = 'permitted', raddr = '192.168.1.11', msg = 'MISC MS Terminal server request', url = 'http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3099', direc = 'in', class = 'protocol-command-decode', priority = low
[07/Apr/2009 16:31:08] Ids.cpp: "Ids" action = 'denied', raddr = '192.168.1.11', msg = 'MISC MS Terminal Server no encryption session initiation attempt', url = 'http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-052.mspx', direc = 'in', class = 'attempted-dos', priority = medium
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Wladimir, Thank you, That is the rule that is causing it to do block remote desktop, we have already made the developers aware of this problem.
if you want we can disable that specific rule, so that you can leave the hips on. To disable it you need to navigate to c:\program files\sunbelt software\personal firewall\config\idsrules\ and open the misc.rlk file with notepad.
Find the line with "MISC MS Terminal Server no encryption session initiation attempt" on it, and add # to the start of it. The # characters makes it think the line is a comment and will not process it as a rule.
Once this is done you can re-enable the NIPS and you should be able to use Remote desktop.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Peter
