Norton / McAfee sharing same network... Help
I have 1 computer that just had NIS 2008 installed on it and 2 other computers using McAfee Security.. My network worked fine with NIS 2007, but will not with 2008. Symantec gave me the instructions on how to set up 2008 to work with the others BUT..I have to know the IP of each of the 2 machines using McAfee.. How do I find their IP? On the NIS computer, I found 2 IP' s one starts with 24..... and the other I think is a 102..... Which one do I use and how do I find them on the other 2 McAfee machines... I am almost to the point of using McAfee on all 3 machines to avoid any further confussion...

Your problem has nothing to do with the fact that McAfee is running on the other computers. You are simply trying to configure the Norton firewall to allow other computers on the network to have access. Since you are probably connecting to a router and the router is assigning IP addresses to all computers on the network, the IP addresses of the other computers can potentially change. Thus, the solution to your problem is not to have the exact IP addresses of the other computers as those designated as allowed on the Norton firewall, but to enter a range of IP addresses. For example if your router assigns IP addresses in the range 192.168.1.xxx, then a computer can potentially have any IP address where the xxx is 2 to 255. It is that range that you should specifiy. (Note you router will be assigning addresses where the first 3 numbers [separated by dots] are different from the example I used here, so you will need to know what they are).
