Re: Can't browse PC's on Network

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



It was part of a bundle with Norton Internet Security - Actually I did find
the solution after reading some of the other threads you had responded too.
I guess I missed some of the firewalls put in place by NIS which I thought I
had reconfigured. When I reinstalled it I caught the ones I missed. Is
there any other way of fixing this so it doesn't happen in the future? maybe
with a Restore option? With my limited comp. skills, I get confused when I
come across all the different types of incoming/outgoing connections. [this
is in the Security Configuration>advanced settings>general rules section of
NIS] Examples: DNS, ICMP,UDP Rule, NetBios, etc.
Can you advise on which connections are needed to permit only the computers
on my home network workgroup?
