This solution helps (for me):
- Start mmc.exe from console prompt.
- Select File/Add Windows Firewall extended snapin.
- Double click Windows Firewall
- Select all predefined incoming and outgoing rules for file and printer
sharing and activate all of them (for each scope: private, domain, public).
- Done.
I did the same for remote desktop rules, since I want to use remote desktop.
I do not know wheter this is a good idea, it just helps. But there might be
some security vulnerabilities doing so. I would appreciate some comment from
a networking guy.
The problem occured after I installed VMWare 6 on my machine. This installs
a Network for vor the virtual maachines, which is viewed as a public network.
I tried to switch it to private, but it was turned back to public after
reboot.
