Dear all,

I got the cause. The connection was back to normal after I disabled
norton internet security at both computers (NIS 2003 ran at desktop
side & NIS 2004 ran at notebook side).

However, the problem didn't get solved because it was not a good
solution. I didn't know which NIS setting caused this. Actually these
NIS had been running long ago and both computers could communicate
over LAN.

All the thing I did recently was getting live update from norton site
few days ago (that NIS 2003 didn't get update for over one month
before this problem was found).

Could anyone familiar with NIS give me some suggestion ?

Remark: I just use default settings for both NIS versions.
