We have a number of laptops that are all running Windows 7 (64 bit) and NIS. After Windows updates, numerous people are not able to get the internet or print to the network printers here at the office. We have found that if we disable the Smart Firewall, and immediately reenable it, we are then able to print and access the internet.
This has happened on numerous systems. All are fixed by disabling and enabling the Smart Firewall.
This is really starting to getting frustrating. Any suggestions as to how to get around this once and for all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
