To use the Microsoft® Windows® Server Message Broker
(SMB) protocol on a Windows XP
system, you might need to disable firewalls.
About this task
Windows XP includes
a built-in firewall called the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
By default, ICF is disabled on Windows XP
systems. Windows XP Service
Pack 2 comes with the Windows Firewall
enabled by default. If either firewall is enabled on a Windows XP target, the firewall will block
attempted accesses by Optim™ Database
Administrator.
Procedure
To allow access on Windows XP
Service Pack 2, select the File and Printer Sharing box
in the Exceptions tab of the Windows Firewall
configuration.
