Norton AV in XPSP2

[Andre De Clercq]

Does anybody use NAV 2006 in a networked (Workgroup) PC setup? I have 3 PCs.
On one of them I have NAV 2006 installed. An external drive connected (USB2)
to this PC and set for sharing, can not be opened as a share on the other
two. When connecting the USB drive to the other PC's there is no problem to
open the external drive as share. Recently I installed NAV2006 on the second
PC, and again, the external drive connected to this PC could not be shared
anymore. I contacted Symantic with no results...Anybody can help, or has the
same experience?

I've certainly met similar probs where computers with NAV couldn't access
server resources. Sometimes this cropped-up for no apparent reason after an
update. My approach was somewhat more fundamental in nature than trying to
fix it.

I seem to recall that NAV changes a network registry-item, and that causes
this trouble. Can't recall which key, though. Anyone recall?

Insert the external drive and then click on My Ccomputer icon on the
desktop. If you don't have this icon then try:

Start, My Computer

Now right click on the external drive that can be seen from here.

Select Properties;
Select Sharing,
Check Sharing is ticked - If not check it!
Click OK
Reboot the system

See if this has solved the problem and let us know.

Best regards,

I don't think any of the experts here use Norton. But that's because they're
experts.
