I have been using Windows Live Once Care for about a year now and I am impressed with the product. It is easy to install and setup file and printer sharing. Until recently this worked well. It looks like there has been an update to the product which provides tighter security around file and printer sharing. If I turned off my One Care firewall the file and printer sharing works fine but if the firewall is on it does not work. However , don’t disable your firewall to test this out unless you have a router that protects your network. If you want to try this make sure you are not connected to the Internet.
Thanks to the post below I was able to get local network sharing working again:
Read the second post by Stephen boots to get the details. To summarize, you need to set your local network to the Home and Work Zone (not Public) and open the ports for Inbound and outbound ICMPv4.
