Hello from Canada,

maybe one of the MVPs can comment on how Nortan Firewall is impacting you.
I have the same router and had the same problem. Did two things to make it
go away:
(1) added Network Services 6891 to 6900 to my Firewall Settings (sorry, I
use ICF instead of Norton). Messenger had a problem with open these ports
through Application Layer Gateway when transferring files. The problem
might have been fixed by.
(2) read Steve Winograd's article on Workgroup network set up. Very
informative.

Let us know if you are still having problems after creating static settings
for those network services. You might have to read Steve's article. I will
try to dig it up for you. You will probably have to deal with no more than
three key points in the article.

Regards,

Mark Bryski
