I am running a dual boot laptop with Windows Seven 64bit build 7100 and I decided to trial NIS 2010. Install went fine, but I am not sure if windows firewall was properly turned off or not. In the Windows Action Center under network firewall it reports Windows Firewall and NIS both report they are turned on. But then when I go into Windows Firewall to try and manually disable it, it reports in there that These settings are being managed by vendor application Norton Firewall Provider. And it won’t let me adjust or turn off the Windows Firewall as they are greyed out and not selectable. Should I have manually disabled Windows firewall before installing NIS first or is this ok as it is?
