Norton Firewall problem
-
I.m trying to get Norton Firewall 9.1.0.33 to see two PCs on a LAN on a friends PC. I did have it working last year, but it has now 'stopped' working, obviously my fault! The problem is that if I set up the Trusted Zone, both PCs see each other, if I then reboot then the PCs can't see each other. If I change the Trusted Zone, and then put it back to what it was it works. Surfing the Net I can't find any sensible reasons/fixes for this, so any suggestions? Some detail on what I have done in detail
- Set Trusted Zone range to 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- PCs see each other
- Change Trusted Zone to 192.168.100.100 to 192.168.255.255
- PCs can't see each other, as expected.
- Set Trusted Zone range to 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- PCs see each other
- Reboot, PCs can't see each other.
The best solution I have seem it to get rid of Norton, but that would be too easy! My current best guess is an auto update has changed something, or my friend has screwed it up, but that is probably beyond his skill level.

Thanks but I thought Norton == Symantec?

You are right. I'm not sure how I got that link from Symantec's site. Try here instead.

Add more water! Thanks, support was going to be my last resort, that is a good link, I was hoping some one here has seen this before.

In my opinion, don't set an IP address to a difference network id. Try to set 192.168.100.100 and another one is 192.168.100.125. Then reboot your computer. Try to test it whether it see each other or not.

Thanks, I tried setting the specific IP addresses of each of the computers as well as an all encompassing range, that failed as well.

Ok, in my opinion, you should consult with your norton firewall documentation. I could remeber that when windows xp sp 2 first release, it also introduce about new security feature which hide your PC on the network to prevent from a hacker. It also provide a documentation to configure sp2.

You will be sursprised to hear, I have read the documentation, it was as a last resort mind you! :-O XP Security has been turned off, as I said it works fine util you reboot the PC. Ah well, lets see if Symantec come up with an answer.
