networking ME to win 7 via router
Greetings Mike,
Correct, there is a way to allow LAN through the NORTON Firewall, but I'll need to research the IP addresses to all the other machines and then their individual names or ID's.. Currently I do not know that information. It then is added to an exception page in the NORTONS firewall setup. However, I was able to access the ME machine I wanted by shutting down the NORTON firewall. That 1 hour access saved me 4 hours of copy and paste via flash drive.. ;-) Tks to all who offered help and advice. I think I'm beginning to get a feel for this win 7.. ( and even the NORTONS which has a grip on it..) LOL tks again RTS "Mike M" wrote in message ... Once you get rid of the Norton firewall and can "see" the other machines on the network (the four devices probably being your router, Vista PC and 2x Win Me PCs) you should have no problem with your Win 7 machine accessing files on any Win Me shares, you should also be able to communicate both ways between your Vista and Win 7 machines. Similarly if you were to have a machine running XP you would also be able to establish two way communication. Nevertheless I would have thought that you should be able to configure Norton's firewall to permit access. Surely there has to be a setting or option on it that identifies blocked machines and allows you to permit access? And now to bed ... -- Mike M Rockytsquirrel wrote: Greetings Mike, Yep, first thing I found is NORTONS firewall has totally blocked all LAN connections, NORTONS says there are 4 devices on the network but without the IP address and connection machine name it will not open the path.. As Noel suggested I'm looking for a way to shut down the firewall, but it may take a while for me to get famililar enough with it to find the correct settings. Ever since Peter Norton sold his company its been in a downward spin... I was hoping to keep things as they were on this new machine till I got a better understanding of how it works but if this is any indication I may not be able to wait. ;-) Mike, as for the networking and file sharing, the ME's don't need to access the win 7 machine, I was just wanting the win 7 machine to link with the ME's so I could move all the txt files and html's, jpg. mov, and the like to the newer system.. (the newer machine can burn DVD's ;-) which helps with backups) tks again for all the feedback |
