Hi,
After Removing CA Internet Security Suite and Virus,
I installed Norton Anti Virus 2007.
Since then, I can not Access the Windows Workgroup from this PC.
I posted this is Windows XP forum and tracked down to the exact problem.
Using msconfig, I have discovered exactly what service is causing the problem.
The service is from Symantec/Norton Anti Virus 2007
The exact service is 'Symantec Settings Manager'.
I start this service, I can not ping this PC and Can not access Workgroup shares. If I stop this service I can ping this 'bad' PC and the Windows Workgroup shares work.
That is the good news.
The bad news, I still do not know what is set wrong and I can see no settings to change in Norton.
So, I will contact their tech support, but anyone with any experience with this is welcome to suggest how to fix this issue.
I have a 5 user license for this product and it works fine on 3 other PCs also running the same XP operating system.
Thanks,
Hap...
