It does say firewall is being controlled by the domain. That is what made me
know that the installation of server 2003 was the cause. However; I am not a
full time IT person, actually I am the Controller, but have been elected as
having the most knowledge in the company. I have not had time to spend
learning more about server 2003; can you give me quick quideline to where to
change the domain policy.
