Allow Windows services blocked by Norton on a public network

When the trust level of your network is set to Public, Smart Firewall blocks Windows network activities, including network discovery, file and printer sharing, and remote desktop connections. You can allow these network activities by configuring Public Network Exceptions to turn individual services on.
