Re: Norton Antivirus messed up network. Need help!

Thanks. Does it mean that I have to install NIS 2006 back to do it?

Thanks for your prompt response....

Yes, as I come to think about it, I think it was Norton Internet Security
2006 over NIS 2002. After reboot it asked if I'd like to use Norton
firewall
instead of Windows default and as always they had that "recommended" part
at
the end, I chose yes. So, now I see my mistake. What I did then when
network
went down, I uninstalled this Norton hoping the problem will go away but
it
didn't. The network drive still shows an error when I try to open it. A
different one thogh (something like "Cannot access bla-bla-bla.... and
worthless help button at the bottom)

Oh no, there's no way, I'm not going to use System Restore. THis will mess
it up even more. Nor can I call someone as it will cost them money and
I'll
get into lots of trouble. It's a small business and they say every penny.

Is there any way I can undo this firewall option in Norton? Or at least
how
can I configure it? What could be the problem???

AntiVirus only ? or one of the Security Suite packages like Norton
Internet Security. I'm not totally familiar with the 2006 product line,
but AV shouldn't interfere/block or take down a network. If it was
NIS then it added additional security features including a firewall that
would need to be configured. Usually, after reboot you have options
to pick network settings & locale.
You might want to try a System Restore - but make sure the data on
the PC is fully backed up. It's one thing to loose a network, another
to loose data. Best to go slow, not try random things to fix it and just
let someone more experienced take a look at it.

Guys, need urgent help!!!

My boss called me to update his Norton Antivirus in the office. When I
started installing 2006 version it told me that I have to remove
version
2002, which I did and installed Norton 2006 then. When all was done the
local
network they had went down...... He's gonna kill me tomorrow. I know
nothing
about networking. What shall I do to restore it back? (I swear I did
nothing
except uninstalling Norton Antivirus 2002 and installing 2006)

Thanks in advance....
