Connecting Win2K SP4 to Win 7 limited ??

I know that Win 7 works with Win2K. I am doing it
already, whenever I kick Kerio's
ass off the Win2K computer. Anyone know how to
blow a hole in an old Kerio or recommend a good
cheap firewall that is easy to configure or,
better still, self configuring?

TIA

No Relic I didn't try Homegroup. I saw enough
warnings to keep me clear of it.
My present problem has reduced to a firewall.

I was delayed a lot by not understanding shares -
I thought each computer had to set up its own
share. What a clown I was!

Well then, how about making a hole in Kerio or
getting a suitable replacement?

TIA and have a great week :-)

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.

I use Kerio 2.1.5 on both WinNT4 and WinXP with no problems and am very
satisfied with it.

Did you enter your Windows logon password or the password for Kerio? There
can be separate passwords for Administration and the Statistics views.

Under Administration, press the Advanced button to open the Firewall
Configuration window. Select the Microsoft Networking tab. Tick "For
Microsoft Networking Use These Rules Instead of Filter Rules". Tick "Allow
Microsoft Network Name Resolution". Tick "Allow Other Users to Access My
Shared Folders/Printers". Optionally tick any of the other boxes. If you
tick a "trusted" box then you need to setup the Trusted Address Group.

Try Comodo or Agnitum firewalls (free). I've heard nothing bad about either
of them.

Thanks C.R. That's the bit I missed. I'm on NetBook at present - will
try Kerio on Win2K again soon. I am in need of a bit of success :-)

I knew that - it's well advertized in the NetBook.

Thank you C.R. and Relic. I had a good day today - see
alt.comp.hardware. I am now at the point where that Kerio is my major
problem. Will look at it in the next few days. Thank you both for your help.

OK Carroll, YOU did it. :-)

All I had to do was to unclick those two arrows at
the Trusted Address Group and
now all is well. Would you believe that Samsung
knows nothing about things like this?

Many thanks for your help.
