Hi

I recently upgraded my home computers from Win ME to Win XP.



I used to use Norton Firewall to protect my PC's.



Since I upgraded to XP (pro), I have not been able to use the Norton
Firewall.



What happens is -

When Norton personal firewall is installed on the PC connected to the
modem(ADSL), this PC can still use the internet. The other PC's (2 of them,
networked) are unable to connect to the internet.



If I disable the firewall - the Other PC's can see and use the internet.



I have checked the Norton (Symantec) website, but was unable to find an
answer.

I am wondering if anyone has any idea as to the problem/solution.



When I installed the firewall - I did disable the XP firewall that is
supplied.



Thanks in advance
