Hi
A quote from the ""Unhelpful"" Link second paragraph:
Depending on how they set few software Firewalls, Live Virus Scanner etc.,
would keep working in the background even if you switch them Off.
Disable means that if possible do not let them load at Startup, take them
out of the picture until the Network's Sharing problems are resolved.
End of Quote.
Happens quite often that people dismiss the help given to them and at the
end (if they bother to get back with feedback) you find out that the
solution or part of it was included in the ""dismissed"" help.
I wonder why???
