ASP application

Hi

SBS2000 all latest patches. XP Pro SP2 & IE6 all latest patches.

A customer has a guy writing a .Net application to run on their Intranet.
One of the functions of this app is to send a print to a local workstation
LPT1 port. (Workstations are XP Pro SP2 with admin rights). He has tried
running this on his own W2k server running on a laptop & it works. Trying it
on a workstaion attached to the server does not work & he assumes that
something is blocking either his .Net app or possibly Windows Scripting
Host. He also blamed our ISA server which I have advice that the Intranet
does not use ISA.

Each workstation runs McAfee Enterprise v8.0i patch 10 & we have tried
disabling that. Also we have tried disabling The workstation ISA Firewall &
also the IE proxy settings. We also tried running the app on an old XP Pro
workstation without SP2. Wscript.exe has been run on the server.

Please can anyone suggest if some security setting could be blocking this?

Regards
Nick

I have seen an application that did not run when the firewall client
is enabled. When you disable the client it works fine. Actually the
program would not install with the firewall client enabled. I forget
if it works with the client enabled.

Thanks for your reply Jim

As I mentioned, we have tried running the application with the Firewall
disabled.
