Noton Internet Security

Wilsonator · 11-11-2005, 07:14 PM

I'v recently purchased a new computer and network, my new pc came with norton internet securty installed. Anyway, when I try to open a shared file on the other pc on my network I get an error message, and the same applys when I try to print to a shared printer on the other pc. But when I disable norton firewall, I don't get these error meassages and it works fine. At the moment i'v disabled norton internet security and just left windows firewall active. My question is, what do I have to do in norton to allow these things to happen with norton firewall active?

Go into permissions and allow the connection.

Yeah, whenever you have a problem like this it's usually do to the firewall. Make sure you've added all the programs as "allowed" that you want access to the internet.
