I have set up ICS on a laptop running win 8.1 as a test. The laptop is running Norton Internet Security with Firewall turned on.
My laptop connects to 3G wifi dongle, and shares it with the rest of my network with LAN connection from laptop.
I want a permanent solution, so I bought a micro-pc and installed 8.1 on there, also Norton Security (so a newer version), and the connection sharing did not work,
When I disable Norton Firewall, the connection works fine from the rest of the network. With firewall on, nothing can connect. There was nothing in the logs I could see, and the Firewall ruleset is rather long and complex.
Are there any instructions for turning on ICS with Norton Security that maximise protection however still allow Internet Connection Sharing to work?
Thanks, Dave
