    I'm kind of confused here. I just setup Norton IS 2009 and I was having problems with the firewall and the Network and Sharing center. I'm on a laptop with a router that's been port forwarded properly to allow a certain port to be open for utorrent. Anyhow. my network and sharing center was trying to switch my network from private to public, and it said it was "identifying". What are my settings supposed to be in the Network and Sharing center. I want to be able to use utorrent, but I don't want printer sharing and file sharing unless I have to keep it for utorrents sake. Right now my network is set to private and Network Discovery is set to custom and File Sharing is set to on. The rest of it is off. By the way. I'm using Vista Home Premium. Try and give me some proper settings for this setup before I go nuts. I'm not sure if I have this set right.

    Thanks :confused:
