How can I open up Windows Firewall (VISTA) for outbound traffic to allow computer to see networked drives?

I have a computer (Vista) that has to have a firewall on it. Furthermore, it's imposed (from management) that under Firewall properties, the Outbond connections are blocked. The default is "Allow". I would, however, like this computer to be able to see networked drives. I have tried opening up various things by going to Outbound Rules, picking New Rule->Predefined and turning on Network Discovery, File and Printer Sharing, Core Networking. I can't see the networked drive. As a sanity check, I have disabled the firewall and verified that all is well. Also, setting the defaul开发者_如何学JAVAt outbound connection to "allow" works.

Any ideas on this specific problem? Any tutorials on Windows Firewall for Vista? I've seen a few but they are basic. They certainly don't address this problem. Thanks.

Thanks. I finally figured this out. In case someone looks at this months from now, here's the key details:

The computer had already been setup to use a "private" as opposed to "domain" or "public" setting. Thus in Windows Firewall w/ Advanced Security I made sure that CoreNetworking, File and Printer Sharing, and Network Discovery we're all opened up. I did this by clicking on "Outbound Rules", and picking Action->New Rule->Predefined and then the relevant category. Further, for all of the File & Print Sharing category, for the Profiles marked Private, set the remote address to “Any”. Finally, I changed the rules, CoreNetworking – Group Policy(TCP-OUT) and CoreNetworking – Group Policy(N-OUT). I changed the Profile from Domain to Any.

Quite possibly, I opened up things more than I needed to.

Thanks.
