Unable to network computers while using McAfee antivirus
You are unable to map a network drive and cannot see the host computer, which is running McAfee antivirus.
McAfee was updated and is now blocking Windows File Sharing.
- Open a port in McAfee SecurityCenter.
- Double-click the M icon by the date and time.
- Click on the Web and Email Protection tab.
- Click Firewall.
- Within the Firewall menu, click the Ports and System Services.
- Look for the Windows File Sharing Net Bios and enable.
- Close out.
This will allow you to see the host computer and successfully map the network drive.
Please note: Networking issues are not the responsibility of Software Connection and must be addressed by you or your technician.
