Hi,

I successfully set up my router with my old PC (using Windows XP). I've
tried setting up on my new computer (Windows Vista) and get an error related
to my firewall. I have Norton which I disabled, but no dice. I spent half
an hour on the phone with D Link to no avail. They think it's my modem, but
I'm connected just fine with that! It's a D Link WBR-2310. Any advice?
Thanks much,

Try uninstalling Norton's Firewall as many people have reported that
just disabling it does not solve this issue. I believe there is some
setting in Norton that explicitly will allow a subnet to have
access, but you'd have to check with Norton's tech support.
Honestly, I think that since the WBR 2310 has a firewall that if you
use Windows Firewall only that you don't need the Norton firewall.
