I was curious - without having to look through every port - which ports should be open on Norton (not my choice of firewall for obvious reasons) to allow for LAN intercommunication. I know File / Print Sharing should be open, but I just wondered if anyone else has already been through this and could give some insight as to what should an should not be open. By default Norton locks EVERYTHING down. I can't even access my friends wireless router configuration because that's blocked as well. (2wire - default i.p. 192.168.1.254 - you can't even ping the sucker)
