General information on the file and printer release in Windows
In Windows, there are basically settings for the file and printer release at two different locations:
In the settings of the corresponding network adapter and in the Windows Firewall settings.
● In the Windows Firewall settings, the file and printer release is at least partially blocked:
– The Windows Firewall is deactivated in the plant network, however, which allows access
– In the company network, the Windows Firewall is activated and the file and printer
These settings can be changed in various dialog boxes, e.g. in the "Network and Sharing
Center" or in the "Allowed Programs" dialog box.
● In the settings of the network adapter for the plant network, the file and printer release is
activated. However, in the settings of the network adapter for the company network, the
file and printer release is deactivated. This setting primarily takes effect prior to the general
setting of the Windows Firewall.
This can be seen in the corresponding Windows Firewall settings dialogs by means of a
partially activated checkbox (green or gray background).
