Computer Browser (Network Browsing not working)

After uninstalling Norton Internet Security 2006 from my machine, I was unable to view my Shared drives on my Local Network (Network Browsing was not working).

After looking and comparing the running Services I found that Computer Browser was missing. I tried a few solutions I found on the Internet. One person did recommend that Client for Microsoft Networks was missing.

So what I did was uninstalled Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and re-installed them again after the reboot. This can be found from Local Area Connection -> Properties -> (Install-Client,Service)

You can guess, it worked!! Now why this happened after the removal of Norton I have no idea.

Blocking MSN ads

UPDATE(20/06/2007) :

It is just easier to block rad.msn.com
The problem you might face is that this domain has several ip addresses associated with it.

Here is the list I came up with (list correct till 20/06/2007) :

65.54.195.185
65.54.194.118

207.68.178.12
207.68.178.16
207.68.178.56
207.68.178.61
207.68.178.134
207.68.178.153 - UPDATE (20/06/2007)
207.68.178.239

In order to block MSN ads block the following IP ranges (probably just for MSN, if you can specify it on your firewall):

EuroClick1:
193.149.47.32 - 193.149.47.62
or
193.149.47.32 / 255.255.255.224

EuroClick2:
193.149.47.128 - 193.149.47.255
or
193.149.47.128 / 255.255.255.128

Akamai Technologies:
84.53.134.1 - 84.53.137.255
or
84.53.134.0 / 255.255.252.0

Beware: there is a possibility that if you block these IPs in general some links and services will no work. Especially if they make use of AKAMAI
