Network manager

You can use Network Manager to automatically fix most security vulnerabilities on remote, managed computers. For example, if VirusScan is disabled on a remote computer, you can use Network Manager to enable it automatically.

To fix security vulnerabilities:

1. Click an item's icon on the network map.

2. View the item's protection status, under Details.

3. Click Fix security vulnerabilities under I want to.

4. When the security issues have been fixed, click OK.

Note: Although Network Manager automatically fixes most security vulnerabilities, some repairs may require you to launch SecurityCenter on the vulnerable computer and follow the recommendations provided.

To stop monitoring a computer's protection status:

1. Click a managed computer's icon on the network map.

2. Click Stop monitoring this computer, under I want to.

3. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes

To invite a computer to join the managed network:

1. Click an unmanaged computer's icon in the network map.

2. Click Monitor this computer, under I want to.

3. In the Invite a computer to join this managed network dialog box, click one of the following:

· Grant guest access

· Guest access allows the computer access to the network.

· Grant full access to all managed network applications

· Full access (like guest access) allows the computer access to the network.

· Grant administrative access to all managed network applications

Administrative access allows the computer access to the network with administration permissions. It also allows the computer to grant access to other computers who want to join the managed network.

4. Click Invite.

An invitation to join the managed network is sent to the computer. When the computer accepts the invitation, two playing cards are displayed.

Confirm that the playing cards are the same as those displayed on the computer that you have invited to join the managed network.

5. Click Grant Access.

Note: If the computer that you invited to join the managed network is not displaying the same playing cards that are displayed in the security confirmation dialog box, there has been a security breach on the managed network. Allowing the computer to join the network could put other computers at risk; therefore, click Reject Access in the security confirmation dialog box.

To stop trusting computers on the network:

Click Stop trusting computers on this network, under I want to.

To refresh the network map:

1. On the Basic or Advanced Menu, click Manage Network.

The network map appears in the right pane.

2. Click Refresh the network map under I want to.

Note: The Refresh the network map link is only available when no items are selected on the network map. To deselect an item, click the selected item, or click an area of white space on the network map.

1. Ensure that both computers have the same domain name. To check the domain name for each computer, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click the Computer Name tab.

2. When you connect to a new network, EasyNetwork displays the New Network Detected alert. If this is your trusted network, ensure that you select "Trust this network" in this alert when it appears on both the computers.

If you have already selected "Do not trust this network" in the New Network Detected alert, do the following to view the printers:

1. Under Common Tasks in SecurityCenter, click View Recent Events.

2. In the View Recent Events pane, click View Log.

3. In the left pane, click Internet & Network, and then click Inbound Events.

4. In the list of inbound events select an event where the Source IP is the IP of the gateway the user is currently connected to, and click on Trust this address at the bottom right corner of the pane.
