Thanks for the Reply.

It was Private, set it to Public, same problem, see screen capture, and I put it back to Private as name resolution is required.

So since the problem persists, back to Private.

Any other suggestions?

Can’t tell if this is happening on the other PC (wife’s) as the History fails to load (posted in another subject here, at the end of the thread.

Could you open the entry where "Rule Windows Networking in Public Blocked UDP(17) ? Lets see what other information is there. There are UDP (17) Public traffic rules all over the firewall rules that cannot be changed. Thanks in advance.

I think these are ALL correct.

Do not want SMB available in Public (this IS a desktop so I never run the LAN or connections as Public).

In an older thread you had advised me that one should not install different versions of Norton (360 Deluxe over 360) and I mentioned I was out of licenses… specifically as I had a boot disk problem after installing Norton 360 Deluxe a week later UNRELATED to Norton. So I restored a back-up take before installing Norton 360 Deluxe and installed it again.

I assume I could go to my account (which shows this PC as having used 2 licenses of our 3) and remove both from my PC and then delete all Norton and install 360 Deluxe? Could this be part of the problem? Also my wife is in the same state, but she can’t see the History at all and might be getting the same notices?

In another older one you said I shouldn’t have installed 360 directly over and older licensed version. So I got NRnR and used the REMOVE and REINSTALL option.

When it was again installed I went used my N360 UID/PW to activate the ‘new’ install.

Same problem however:

Still happening… need help…

It’s not just you this new version of Norton is badly broken. I got the update and noticed my download speeds and internet browsing were not as normal, then I got the update on my laptop and it had the same effect. Something is very wrong with it.

All: I have reverted to version 22.24.8.36, using intelligent updater to stay up to date with definitions. Recommend you do the same due to 24.xx keeps giving you the same issues back to back.
