[solved] Cannot Access Home Network After Installing 2010 Total Security
Using Windows XP. Upgraded to BitDefender Total Security 2010 recently and my home network stopped working. I can only access the other computers if I disable the firewall.
BitDefender sent me instructions to re-install the firewall, which I did, but it didn't solve the problem. I am awaiting a reply from BF but meanwhile thought I would post here to see if anyone has come across this issue before.

Hello Edelia,
On all of your computers please open BitDefender in Expert Mode, choose the Firewall module and perform the following changes :
1. Select the Network tab in the upper menu and click on the current "Network Type", pull down the drop-down menu and select "Trusted Local", Stealth to "No" and Generic to "Yes".
2. In the Zones area please click on the "+" sign and add the IP address of the local device that you are trying to connect to;
3. Please go to the Status tab, click on the "Advanced Settings" button and check the option called "Enable Internet Connection Sharing" .
Let us know what happens .
