I've installed microsoft antispyware beta on about 5 computers here, and all
of
them got file and printing sharing blocked after that.

ive tryed to uninstall the program, but the problem now is kinda permanent.

need some help. thanks
 
In addition to installing, did you also do a scan and remove anything?

I'm trying to determine from what you've written whether all networking is
failing, or just file and printer sharing specifically--i.e. do you have
Internet access?

The most likely article to give relief is this one:

the MSAS did not found any spyware on the boxes, except one.
the internet works well, the boxes logs on the network, i can ping the
ips...
but if i do start -> run -> \\machine i got a network path not found error
same for \\ip-of-machine

thanks man, and sorry for my very bad english =P
 
Your English is doing just fine. I'm gonna have to ponder this a bit--I'm
at work at the moment and can't take time to get deeper at the moment--more
sometime later tonight--5-10 hours from now.

At the same time as you installed Microsoft Antispyware, did you do any
other work on the machines? Update patches? The obvious thing that would
cause this symptom would be having the firewall active (as SP2 mandates) and
not having it opened for file and printer sharing on the local subnet.

i did an service pack 4 update on one machine only, after install of MSAS..
you see, ive looked out all those stuff (firewall, network connections, etc)
ive done the
article that u send me, but no success so far...

thanks man
 
OK. Microsoft Antispyware doesn't include a firewall, and doesn't block any
network access.

If there was a software conflict of some kind, removing the app should cure
that.

I'm not clear what versions of Windows you've got--it sounds like at least
one machine is Windows 2000--is there some XP as well?

might be a good place to start.
