I did not know that Windows Defender was available for XP. Windows update
has never revealed this.
Is this something you have to download seperately apart from windows
update?
Fred
Windows Defender is available for XP. There is a version of the
Windows Firewall in XP. And when you are home, your router has a
firewall as well (SPI).

Yes, for Vista. But, I was talking about XP. XP requires Internet
Security
software. No?
Fred
I use ESET NOD32 AV, the windows firewall and windows defender.

Ha, ha, yes,
Bashing Norton seems to be in style these days. What Internet Security
software would either of you recommend? Let's see if we get a match
from
both of you.
Fred
I won't use Norton myself, but am glad you figured it out.

I can't think of enough expletives to write down here...
Norton Internet Security's firewall needed the MAC Address - the
physical
address of the Router, as seen from the local LAN, as opposed to the
MAC
Address - the physical address of the Router, as seen from the
Internet.
Why are there two different MAC addresses???????
Fred
I thought I would add the IPCONFIG /ALL. Is the DNS server setting
correct?

Hey Robert, Chuck, Barb [or any MVP],
I upgraded my Netgear router WGR614v6 to WGR614v8. I have a Vista
Premium
laptop, LAPTOP-PC, and XP Home desktop, DESKTOP-PC, connected to
the
router
using a WIRED connection. I have no problem accessing the
internet
from
either of them.
[I think] After replacing the router, this problem started.
DESKTOP-PC,
if
visible to LAPTOP-PC, is no longer accessible. "Windows can not
access
\\DESKTOP-PC" and the error code is 0x80070035. And, from
DESKTOP-PC,
LAPTOP-PC is not visible under "My Network Places". Both
computers
are
set to the same workgroup, "WORKGROUP".
I added the router IP and MAC address to the "Trusted Site"
section
of
Norton Internet Security on DESKTOP-PC. On LAPTOP-PC, I only have
AVG
anti-virus installed.
I have the entire C drive shared in DESKTOP-PC, allowing network
users
to
change files.
In LAPTOP-PC, under Network and Sharing Center I have:
Network Discovery On,
File Sharing On,
Public Folder Sharing On [anyone with network access can change,
open,
create files],
Printer Sharing On,
Password Protected Sharing Off,
Media Sharing Off.
I thought I covered all the bases here. Any ideas? Barb, I know
you
have
the
same router, maybe there is something else that needs to be
configured?
Fred
