- Windows XP blocking incoming traffic
- Posted by Urvin on February 2nd, 2008
Hi,
I have this workstation (Dell notebook) running Windows XP SP2 in a Windows
2003 Active directory domain.
On this workstation I am experiencing the following weird behavior:
I am able to access all network resources but am not able to access any
resource from this workstation from any other workstation. For example I am
not able to Remote Desktop (Remote desktop is enabled) neither to ping this
machine. It seems that the workstation is blocking all incoming network
traffic. I have double checked and the Windows firewall is turned off (this
is configured\enforced through group Policy) and there is no other firewall
installed on this machine.
Has anyone seen this behavior before, any idea what can be causing this ?
Thanks

Urvin,
What anti-virus protection is on the computer? Look for an anti-worm defense.

Worm protection works like a firewall. If not configured properly, it will
interfere with IP traffic, generally this will affect SMBs over IP and
frequently ICMP ("ping" is ICMP Echo).

The McAfee Control Center wizard should have a section for configuring "Attack
Prevention", or "Intrusion Defense", or something similar. I can't find an
actual "owners guide" for the product; it's possible (highly likely too) that
McAfee reserves that for actual owners. So I can't tell you for sure what
specific product term McAfee uses.
This may be a case where you have to contact your McAfee Enterprise product
support team, and ask them, specifically, how to configure the anti-worm
protection. This is certainly something that you need to know, if you're going
to support Windows Networking in your workplace.
