Do you know how to configure a Linksys router which is both wired and
wireless with Norton Internet Security 2003 to allow print and file sharing?
I'm running winxp on one machine and win98SE on the other. I can't see the
network I've set up or share files / printer unless I disable NIS (norton
internet security)

**************Snipped***************

Put the IP number of the other machine in the trusted zone of norton
NIS. This will then allow all connections from that IP.
