Network disabled on guest account upon NIS 2012 installation

Hi,

 

I just would like to share the solution to this problem, since I couldn't find a corresponding entry in the forum, and I had the Norton support to figure it out.

 

I installed NIS 2012 over NIS 2010 on XP Pro.

Previously the guest account could access the network (browsing); after the upgrade it wasn't possible anymore.

The only other account (from which I installed NIS) had no problem.

 

The solution was

- to create an additional test account (user) with limited rights

- disable/enable the guest account

- login with test and guest account and check the network was available again

- delete the test account.

 

Hope it can help someone.
