After reinstall Winfax 10.0 on a computer with Windows XP SP3, none of clients can connect to Winfax Server host.
The clients computers also have XP SP3.
The Winfax client show a message box that access to the host computer is denied.
I tried with WinFax Tools, but not solve this.
The same computers with the same Windows releases was working 1 week ago.

Please say me what Can I do.

Thank you.
