Third Party Firewalls

Comment:

Does anyone know of any work around for using third party firewalls (Tiny Personal Firewall 2.0.15) on XP Professional. I cannot seem to browse our lan with the Firewall going. If I disable the Firewall everything works fine. I tried adding the SMB ports 135-139 for tcp and udp and still came up with nothing. Does anyone have a solution. Thanks in advance
