Firewall question

[Guest Bill W]

I have 3 PCs on a home network. There are a few things that are blocked by

the firewall that I can't seem to allow such as a simple status query from

my UPS software. Is there some way to set the firewall to allow anything to

go from/to any of the 3 computers on the home network. I can't see where I

can allow by IP or Sub address. Thanks for your help.

You will need to let us know:-

 

Computer Operating System - Windows? XP? Vista?

 

Name of firewall program and version number

or are you using Windows firewall?

Sorry about the lack of information. I have both XP and Vista and I'm

talking about the Windows' firewall. Thanks again.
