Endpoint Protection

I have installed SEP RU5 (32 bit) on a fresh Windows 7 (x86) install. By default it seems that SEP is blocking my network traffic (both intranet and web) and if I disable SEP I have network again.

This never occured with Windows Vista (x86 & x64). Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Due to various issues, we're sticking with the improved Windows 7 firewall for now with the Windows 7 machines.  What happens if you use the default settings on a SEPM group for the firewall and NTP?

It seems that NT Kernal (C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe) is being blocked so I followed the suggestions found in this discussion:<o p=""></o>

Waiting for a solution (I think that many other users are experiencing the same problem with Window 7) I tried to disable SEP firewall to use Windows 7 firewall. However, it is not possible to enable/disable Windows 7 firewall because the system report that these featurea are managed by Symantec Endpoint Protection.
Any idea?<o p=""></o>

Go to add remove programs
Select SEP click on change
It  will open a wizard
In the second screen you will get an option to modify
Select it and in the next screen uncheck NTP and all sub component click next.
This will uninstall NTP feature.
Reboot the pc and check whether the issue persist or not..
