    It might be worthwhile to check on the Peachtree website to see if the know what Ports and Protocols are required for their software and open them up in the advanced firewall settings under "Ports and Protocols".

     

    It's best to open the ports for "Subnet" to begin with, as this will only allow computers on your local network to access these ports.  If that does not work, try "Internet".  If "Internet" still does not fix the issue, remove the new port rules u made to keep things secure.

     

    I hope this helps.

    I'll also add to Kevin's answer (besides moving this to the firewall topic)...

    Can you share files to the PC that is hosting the accounting software by browsing in Windows Explorer? I'd first want to confirm that File and Printer Sharing is working.

    Then, as Kevin pointed out, if the Peachtree software on the host PC needs ports open for it to "listen" on, these ports would need to be allowed in addition to allowing the software.
