Hi all,
I've read everything I can find on this and I still can't get it
working. I'm setting up a distributed network for a charity, with 4
remote locations and I'm having problems with 2 locations.
Location 1 has a PC with XP Home and Norton Internet Security + laptop
with XP Pro and LinkSys WRT54GS-CA + DSL Connection.
Location 2 has a PC with Win98 and Norton Internet Security + laptop
with XP Pro and LinkSys WRT54GS-CA + Cable Connection.
In both situations, the PC and laptop can connect to the Internet, but
can't see each other. No ping or anything. Both are getting IP
address through DHCP from the router. All have file & printer sharing
turned on.
The new hardware in the setup is the laptop and router. The PCs were
pre-existing. I suspect that Norton Internet Security is the culprit,
but I would have expected to see prompts asking if I wanted to allow
traffic. Not happening.
Should I remove Norton Internet Security from the PCs? Will this
help?
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks
Joel
