Hi,Uninstall Norton 360 - don't just disable it.
I have a dexktop running XP home edition, networked (wifi) to a laptop
running w2k. The XP system shares a folder with the laptop so I can
transfer
files. That was until last week. Now when I try to acces the XP share
folder
from W2K it asks fro a userid & password (never did this before), when I
enter a valid ID and PW nothing happens, I am looped back to the UID/PW
screen.
So what changed. well I upgraded from norton interent security 2006 to
Norton 360.
What I have tried so far (none of whitch have worked)
1) Disabled Norton 360 Firewall.
2) Disabled windows firewall
3) Attempted to setup a second share
4) Verified userid and passwords (both same on XP and W2K systems)
5) Called Symantec (suggested reinstall Norton 360 ) could not explain
why,
or what this would fix , so I declined
6) have successfully accessed folders on the laptop (W2k) from the xp
The w2k laptop can see the xp server in the workgroup, it is only when I
access the server/folder that I get the request for UID/PW.
On the XP syetem the security log shows Logon/Logoff event , that failed
because of a "unknown user name or bad password",
I have checked and rechecked UID/PW and they are correct ie same as on XP
machine...
Any constructive thoughts welcome.
