Can you enable Window's firewall, then disable Norton's firewall (in that order so a worm can't get you - or go offline to do it).

Does anything change. Both TS and the netsh et al?

The other thing it does is cleans the hosts file (forgot to mention that).

I didn't need to reboot after running it, though I was offline and it was working.

So you log on, run this program and TS starts working but your network doesn't?

Type in Start - Run
%temp%\vbdata

and you'll find the reg files it uses.

Merge the 2 files.

Then in Start Run
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc
and open the file Hosts with notepad and paste the contents.
