BINGO! I think we have something here gentlemen. I too was having the same network
sharing problem and came here looking for hints. I tried all of the suggestions
I saw here but nothing seemed to help. Next I discovered that by disabling Norton
Antivirus and setting it to not activate at boot up, I would reboot and have full
access to my shared network files.
The next thing I did was enable NAV and as soon at it became active, BAM! No access
to shared folders.
I tried this test at least 5 times to prove to myself that it was happening every
time, and it did the same thing all 5 times.
Last night I sent an email to Symantic tech support describing this problem. I have
not heard back from them yet. If I learn anything I will post a follow up.
Best wishes,
Dan
