| 530485 | 2007-03-05 20:53:00 | Over the weekend it would seem some kind of virus has altered my system so that other computers in my workgroup can no longer access my computer. I am able to access the other workgroup computers. I am running Norton Internet Security with the firewall turned on. Even if turned off the problem remains and I cannot turn the Windows firewall off as it says a group policy now controls this. I would appreciate any suggestions to get this going again. |

| 530486 | 2007-03-05 21:03:00 | Whatever you got hit by most probably put something in the registry and disabled the firewall and/or AV program. Get Trojan remover in my sig below. Install it, run and click on scan. (update it first) Then select the 3rd to 7th option under the utilities menu. |

Did u select the 3rd to 7th option in the utilities menu as well? You may have to check if anything has gone from the LAN properties/TCP/IP entry. |

| 530490 | 2007-03-06 05:03:00 | Hi well this is a common problem with networked machines what I recommend you do is get to grips with your NETSH command, XP is pretty simple to hopefully get things back to Normal anyway try this: Open a command window, then type exactly this --> netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt (ENTER) here is the article: support.microsoft.com This should reset things back to Factory Fresh. Hope this helps. There is also a little program call winsockfix xp, it does everything automatically here: www.softpedia.com |

| 530491 | 2007-03-06 05:34:00 | I have tried options 3-7 in Trojan Remover with no joy. I have tried netsh and winsockfix with no joy also. I still can't turn off windows firewall either. The message given to the computer trying to access is as follows: "\\ComputerName is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Logon failure: the user has not granted the user the requested logon type at this computer." All help so far appreciated. Any further help will also be appreciated. |

| 530492 | 2007-03-06 06:17:00 | Can you edit firewall setting to allow file and printer sharing? By the way, where is the group policy rules coming from? |

| 530493 | 2007-03-06 06:59:00 | Yes, I can access the exceptions tab on the windows firewall dialog window and it is checked with Group Policy "No". I do not have any group policy or domain - just a simple workgroup. | Nomis (11962) | ||
| 530494 | 2007-03-06 08:04:00 | Whats the exact message you're seeing say about the group policy? I think someone had a similar prob a while ago. I think I just found the / a post (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) I was talking about |
