We installed McAfee Desktop Firewall 8.0 (MDF) on our Win2K
professional workstation.
The workstation needs to map some share folders located in other
machines.
If the remote machine is Win2K Server PDC/BDC, we need to add the
following rule:
Incoming UDP 137
If the remote machine is Win2K workstation, the rule is not required.

Why this happens? We really don't want to add that rule. Any solution?

Thanks
Chris
