Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

Hello,

I am running Win7 on two computers, vista on a portable and two Linux machines. All are on my wired/wireless network and can share files. The windows mapping function doesn't place the windows machines or identify the two switches on the network unless I disable the smart firewall. Does anyone know which settings to change or rules to create to allow map to work?

Thank you.

Hi,

first you should open Norton's Network Security Map, and edit the network's and the other PCs' trust level to Full Trust.

Let us know if this helps.

Hello again,

Your suggestion to set network and individual security to "trusted" has changed things, but not solved the problem. I can now see my wireless access point and one of my switches. Another switch shows up as a "?" marked unknown and the other doesn't show up at all.  In addition the linux machines have disappeared completely. All are still available and sharing files. I suspect that I'm having some troubles with master browser issues as described in:

I'm going to work on that first because it all started with a new computer (win7) being substituted for an older one (XP).

Thanks for your help and I'll keep you informed when I find solutions.

Windows 7's networking features includes a "master password", and it has to be put in the other machines as well.
