You're not looking for help I guess.

#1) I didn't say Norton is your problem.. Most likely it is not your problem.. I'm 
just saying, in my experience, every single time it has screwed up file sharing. 
 The first thing I would do, without question, is shut that worthless software off.

#2) Being behind a home router and being behind the dozens of other routers on the 
internet are two totally different things.  If you are behind a router at home, you 
are using NAT (network address translation), none of your PCs on your network have 
a public IP address.  Which means if I'm a hacker I can't get to any of them.  I 
can only attack the router, which wouldn't do me a lot of good would it?  If you 
are behind an ISPs router, you still have a public IP address.

You said you have a username/pass in common between the two machines.  Did you also 
check the sharing and NTFS permissions as I told you to do?  This will produce the 
same results as a bad username/password combination if they are incorrect.
