Hi,
Whilst I am glad you have sorted the problem, the fact remains that you
should have still been able to get on the network with Norton!
The wireless network is just a straight TCP/IP connection as far as
Norton and other products go, so it should have worked. The only thing
I was wondering was whether the firewall in Norton and Service Pack 2
were both on at the same time (you will have to forgive me as I don't
use Norton).
Thanks.
Andrew.

Hello everyone,
I am pleased to report we have now successfully set up our wireless
network using the Netgear DG134G router. the only problem we had was
with my Toshiba laptop. when I set up my machine to access the network
and connected to the web for the first time, a security alert came up
warning me the firewall had been turned off and to go into my Norton
product to solve the problem. At first I thought it was the wireless
card so I rebooted without it and the same box kept popping up. I was
locked out of the network and couldn't get on the web. thanks to Barry
Hill for sending the info to remove Norton. I had Norton Internet
Security and Anti-Virus installed and as I purchased the machine two
weeks ago I knew it would have the latest software. Using one of our
desktop PC's, I downloaded SymNRT.exe, the Norton removal tool for
versions
2004 and 2005. Unfortunately, there is no keyboard access, you need a
mouse to run the program, which strips Norton right out of your system.
If you cannot see the screen you will need sighted assistance. After
rebooting I had to run the network wizard again, making sure to select
the Windows firewall to allow access to the network. I then installed
AVG 7.0 Free edition with no problems.
I have saved the Norton removal tool for future use, in the event of a
complete reinstall of the Toshiba recovery CD.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
