"It was at this site that mentioned that firewalls could cause a problem with the network and to try and disable it if you have one. After I disabled the BI the file sharing worked -that's how I found out!" which is the rough equivalent of saying the front door is locked. i can't get in. locks can cause a problem with getting in. leave it open so i can get in. after it was left open, i got in. perhaps the troubleshooting site was suggesting disabling BI as a troubleshooting technique, to identify the problem and to eliminate other possible causes, but not as a permanent solution. once the troubleshooting process revealed that disabling BI allowed file sharing to occur, the next step should have been to properly configure the firewall, i.e, to make a key that fit the lock (in the above analogy), so that the door is not left wide open.
