Try disabling the whole of norton, not just turning off the firewall. Also, disable cannection firewall in windows. After that, try re-joining the network by using the network wizard....?

mcafee is a resource hog and takes ages to load, anyway, yes try reinstallin and then when it asks you to join the network, select HOME. That should load all the settings that you need for sharing files on a home network
