Hi,

What you need to do is :
1- go to Security->Tasks,
2- Select Add a trusted Zone and define your local area network as a trusted zone.

After doing this, make sure Security->Advanced->Secure the host while booting option is not selected and restart your PC.

Now you should be able to access your network.

Note : If you have CPF installed in both of your computers, you need to follow the steps above for both of them.

Hope this helps,

When you click on the “Add a trusted zone wizard”, CPF will show you the Zones. You need to select the Zone that your computers belong to(You only have 1 zone i guess.). Then CPF will do the rest.
