norton personal firewall stops seeing network

[Winshent]

I have installed 2 new pc's with fresh installs of win xp sp2. They
connect to the internet via a modem router.

I initially setup the pc's with windows firewall turned on, and setup
sharing, work group etc. Both pc's could see each other fine.

I then turned off windows firewall and turned on Norton Personal
Firewall 2005 (which was pre installed on the pc's). The computers
will no longer see each other on the network. I have edited the
trusted source settings and listed the ip's and subnet masks but this
did not fix the problem.

What else do i need to do?

Have you tried running the Network Wizard in Norton by selecting Personal
Firewall>Configure
then selecting Networking>Wizard

I will try this tonight as i am visiting the customer, i think i tried
it before (early last week). Should i remove 'basic sharing' and set
up file sharing within norton if there is the option as i have read
this in another post?

Well, I had the same problem cannot ping and no one cannot access my IIS
website if you turn on NORTON FIREWALL. Even you Add the IP to the trust
list, it is same and no one cannot connect to your IP.

SOLUTION:

Turn on your connection firewall if you are using a cable modem or dial up
modem.

1. Right click on Local Area Network>> Go to properties>> Go to Advanced,
there you will see the Firewall check box, check that. Click on Settings and
put check marks on all of the check boxes. And click OKAY to apply. Makesure
Only turn this on in the NIC that you use to go on-line. Do not turn this
thing on Internal Network. Only in the NIC that goes to the internet. Then
turn off Norton Firewall leaving Intrusion Detection On.

2. That is the best setting I discovered no problem. Internet connection
firewall is good. So I live with it along with Intrusion Detection on in the
NORTON.

3. NORTON 2004 AND UP SLOWS DOWN YOUR COMPUTER. BEST ONE IS NORTON 2003.

4. I use Norton Firewall and AVG. Norton Antivirus did not find 4 viruses
that came in to my computer. Those are dropper bridge.sa something like that.
Norton is not good as I thought then.

5. I like AVG FREE EDITION AND NORTON FIREWALL 2003 ONLY!!

2. Dial up modem, you got that same options in Dial in properties.

CHAMI...
