OpenAFS vs Norton Internet Security 2008

OpenAFS requires several rules to be set in order to work with Norton Internet Security 2008.

1. Under "Personal Firewall->Program Control" add a "Allow" rule for "C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program\afsd_service.exe"
2. Do the same for "fs.exe", "aklog.exe", and other command line utilities if so desired.
3. Under "Personal->Firewall->Trust Control, Trusted tab", add a "Trusted" rule for "02-00-4C-4F-4F-50".
4. Under the "Personal Filewall->Advanced Settings" press the "Configure" button.
5. Add a new rule:
    "Allow", "Inbound", "Any computer", "Protocol: UDP", "Port 7001", and describe it as "AFS Callback Port".  Make it the first rule in the list.
6. Add a new rule:
    "Allow", "Outbound", "Any computer", "Protocol: UDP", "Port range: 7001-7008" and describe it as "AFS Server Ports".  Make it the second rule in the list.

Finally, double check the configuration of the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" labeled "AFS" in the Network Control Panel.   Make sure that "TCP/IP is checked", that "Client for Microsoft Networking" is checked, and that "File and Printer Sharing" is not checked.

You should now be able to access "\\afs\all" in the Explorer Shell.
