Today&#8217;s story comes from <i>Register<\/i> reader &#8220;Remy&#8221; and describes a situation all too familiar.<\/p>\n<p>Cast your mind back to when Windows XP was the latest and greatest, and people around the world were waking up to a belated realisation that the Internet was perhaps not the safest of places, with miscreants lurking around every virtual corner.<\/p>\n<p>Remy was visiting a friend and, being knowledgeable in the dark arts of IT, was asked by the friend&#8217;s father to work out why his desktop computer had mysteriously stopped being able to access the home printer.<\/p>\n<p>Said printer was attached to the mother&#8217;s PC and shared on a home LAN.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as is always the case from a user&#8217;s perspective, nothing had changed and the printer had stopped working all by itself. Those cursed config fairies were clearly up to their old tricks.<\/p>\n<p>Remy dutifully checked the mother&#8217;s PC and found no problems. It was connected, the printer was online and shared, nothing was amiss. &#8220;The problem must lay with Daddy&#8217;s box,&#8221; he mused.<\/p>\n<p>Again, the PC was connected. Network discovery was enabled. Everything appeared to be working correctly, but for some reason the printer was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After a bit of head scratching,&#8221; he told us, &#8220;I noticed a (if I remember well) black-and-yellow nuclear icon in the system tray.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It transpired that the father had indeed made a change to his PC and, in a fit of paranoia, sprayed the poor thing with third-party anti-malware software. The software included a firewall.<\/p>\n<p>So worried about the threats lurking beyond his PC&#8217;s network port, the father had inadvertently turned up the fear dial to 11 and inadvertently blocked everything. Including what was needed to see the printer next door.<\/p>\n<p>Remy has our sympathies. Even though our story takes place over a decade ago, a well-meant attempt at DIY protection can still leave a PC struggling to even boot, let alone access network resources.<\/p>\n<p>Fixing things was blessedly simple, certainly compared to the pain encountered by many when trying to make one Windows PC &#8220;see&#8221; another on a home network. Remy gently explained that the DSL router had a firewall that would deal with most threats and sticking another one on the PC with everything cranked up to maximum was not a guaranteed protection from malware anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Firewall dealt with, &#8220;the mystery was solved and he could enjoy his printer again (as well as the paper jams.)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I,&#8221; said Remy modestly, &#8220;was the hero of the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As well as being cursed with a subsequent decade of those lovely freebie support calls, we&#8217;d wager. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
