Re: Windows Vista Home Networking

Hi,

I would check the firewall rules. I don't know much about the Juniper
device, but it sounds like you have done the correct thing there, but
double check it.

Also, check the firewall rules on the clients. The rules may allow file
sharing traffic only on the same subnet.
