Hello everyone,
I am pleased to report we have now successfully set up our wireless network
using the Netgear DG134G router. the only problem we had was with my
Toshiba laptop. when I set up my machine to access the network and
connected to the web for the first time, a security alert came up warning
me the firewall had been turned off and to go into my Norton product to
solve the problem. At first I thought it was the wireless card so I
rebooted without it and the same box kept popping up. I was locked out of
the network and couldn't get on the web. thanks to Barry Hill for sending
the info to remove Norton. I had Norton Internet Security and Anti-Virus
installed and as I purchased the machine two weeks ago I knew it would have
the latest software. Using one of our desktop PC's, I downloaded
SymNRT.exe, the Norton removal tool for versions
2004 and 2005. Unfortunately, there is no keyboard access, you need a
mouse to run the program, which strips Norton right out of your system. If
you cannot see the screen you will need sighted assistance. After
rebooting I had to run the network wizard again, making sure to select the
Windows firewall to allow access to the network. I then installed AVG 7.0
Free edition with no problems.
I have saved the Norton removal tool for future use, in the event of a
complete reinstall of the Toshiba recovery CD.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
