![]() I am waiting to hear of a fix or if there is a workaround. I usually could not restore the server connection without rebooting. Renewing the DHCP lease while Norton was still on was hit or miss, as to if it restored the internet connection. I lose internet access like the OP, and I usually end up rebooting to get back to having network access. ![]() I can connect to the server through Finder, browse all folders on the connection and copy files from the server to my Macbook Pro, but when I try to copy files to the Network server with Norton 360 installed, it will hang and eventually disconnect me from the network. I am having the same issue with an SMB connection to a Windows 2012 server. Any help on how to reenable Norton and have the WD working would be welcome. Hope this helps and reaffirms Norton Network protection and Big Sur have problems. but with its age and mechanical Hard Drive I can see it failing soon. Strangely my ageing WD My Cloud server works fine. OK now apart from those pesky Norton red reminders. So I've disabled the Norton Firewall for now and engaged the Mac firewall. I found unchecking 'Vulnerability Protection' in Norton settings cures everything (or removing 'Norton Security' in the Mac Network Preference panel like Steve J). I tried all manner of IP exclusions in the Norton Firewall settings but all failed. Obviously no network connection after that. Since Big Sur upgrade I can see the WD, Copy from it, but if I try to write my network hangs and finds a random IP address (not 192.168. Mega problems with a WD EX2 Ultra SSD on my network. I'm thinking my problem is similar to Steve J complete Network Novice) (Norton 360, iMac, Big Sur, WD EX2 Ultra SSD server) This just makes me work without safety nets for my backups now. ![]() And that Norton Security service was not present in the network configuration section.Īny way to definitely turn this off and have NIS stop complaining about fixing it? I never had problem with previous macOS version and NIS installed. I have to turn it off to reset connections and then NIS starts complaining again. I lose the SMB connection and then nothing happens. Even though I added it to NIS config to allow it to use all local 192.168 IP addresses, it is blocked by the Norton service. Problem is that I use a backup software (GoodSync) that mounts an SMB access point each evening to backup some stuff. If I turn it off, NIS will complain to fix the settings and turn it on. Now in the Control Panel Network section, there is a service called "Norton Security". I just reformatted my MacBook Pro for a clean Big Sur installation.
