A friend of mine has a desktop computer with WinXPpro and Norton
Protection Center with antivirus and some firewall built in. Recently
he bought a laptop with VistaPremium installed on it and now he would
like to use a printer which is connected to the desktop computer. The
connection between both computers goes through a wifi modem/router.
The desktop is wired to the router and the laptop uses wifi. I can see
the laptop in the View Workgroup Computers but I cannot see the
desktop machine from the laptop so I can't get to the printer. From
the laptop's Network window I can only see the icon of the laptop and
when I get to Network and Sharing Center I can only see the laptop
connected to the router and further to the Internet and that's it. My
guess is the inbound firewall from Norton product is not allowing the
connection. But there is no way or at least I don't know of any to
change its settings. My friend doesn't want to have the access from
the desktop computer to the laptop but only the other way round just
to get to the printer.
Does anyone know what's the solution to this problem?

Yes. Remove it. If this does not work (common with this stuff), flatten
and rebuild.

Hopefully, removing will work.

As far as I know it's not that easy to remove Norton products from
your system.
Besides my friend paid for that software so he wouldn't like to just
get rid of
it. I know that buying another printer with a network interface would
solve the
problem however, there must be a way to use the one he already has.

Because he payed for pain, of course he doesn't want to miss the pain
he payed for. Aha. I understand.

Maybe you want to tell me the address of your friend, so I could offer a
small selection of lashes, too?

The best thing I did was to take the advice of people in this group and
uninstall Norton Internet Security from my computer. A host of problems
went away.
