I just did some extra work on Kerio.
I close Kerio. Next I connect the two computers
and they work very well.
Next I open the Kerio Admin. Program. It pops open
a small window with:
Kerio Personal Firewall (as the name of the window)
A radio button with a choice of:
Local Host or Remote Computer (Hostname or IP
address) with a slot for the hostname or the address.
Because the firewall is on the Win2K - the local
host - it has the firewall and I click
local host.
The next line is
Authorize using:
Connect to one of (2 radio button choices): Admin
Configuration or Status Window.
Since I am the boss here, I click Admin
configuration (for better or worse
)
and then enter the password that I use to logon.
Kerio goes to sleep.
Meantime I can drag and drop files to my heart's
content with the firewall down and I
have to reboot to get it back up.
