Able to connect, or able to "find" it as you stated originally? If he could
just see it but not connect to it, that would probably be cause his client
cached it from when you had the firewall off. If he could also connect and
access files I dunno. It's possible the firewall detected the previous
connection as active and automatically added an allow rule for it in order
to not cut that connection I guess. But that seems to defeat some of the
purpose of a firewall to begin with unless the rule was made specific
enough to only be valid for that particular connection.
