NIS & Norton Security Suite 5.1.0.29 and Homegroups

Hi, 

My friend and I are trying to set up a homegroup on a network so that we can share files. He has Norton Internet Security, and I have Norton Security Suite. We're both running Windows 7. We had it working before, so I'm not sure what changed. Now, I can see his computer on the network, and he can see mine, but we cannot access each other's files. Is there something we need to fix in the firewall setup, or are we missing something here? Ideas, anyone? TIA :smileyhappy:

Hi,

 

both of you should try this:

1. Open the Network Security Map (In 360 it's on the Tasks window, in NIS 2012 it's on the Advanced view).

2. Once the new window is opened, click on Edit by the machine you want to allow the file sharing

3. Change the trust level to Full trust.

4. Save changes.

5. Test the connection.

 

Let us know the results.

Once all the settings are in place, Win 7 often likes a reboot afterward.
