Issues with Network Shares not Accessible

You are trying to attach to a network share using Windows... and you get a response "sharename already in use" or something to that effect. It may be
your Norton or Symantec client firewall causing the problem. Disable it
and you should then be able to attach without hassle. If you wish to keep firewalling active at your client, you will need to drill down to the actual
specific setting that is causing the issue. Or, you can setup the client to
disregard IP address ranges on your local network (like having it ignore
every 192.x.x.x address).

Symantec CF would not allow me to attach to a customer's Terastation Live.
I find having to do this workaround particularly stupid since network sharing
is a basic Windows function nowadays...
