I lean more to Nortons being the problem. This afternoon as an experiment to respond to another member, I installed a scratch 400GB drive in my newest build (Intel i5-2500K CPU) and installed a clean copy of Win7 HP 64bit (OEM). After the Windows installation completed and the MB drivers installed (needed for the on board NIC) I proceeded to set up the network connection with only two modifications from default. I had to select Home as to the type of network (Public makes severe restrictions on the connection and Work should not be used on a home network) and then changed the default name of the work group as the network was set up initially with all XP machines so it is MSHOME.
My modem was turned off as I had installed no anti-virus, anti-spyware or third party firewall. The windows firewall was on default settings. While I did not install RAIDar, I used Windows Explorer to connect to one of my ReadyNAS units and connect to several shares and access files on each share. Norton is noted for being very restrictive at times. I used to be a Norton's user until I has so many problems on a new manufactured PC I bought about 5 years ago that I used the Norton's removal tool to rip it out by the roots and went to separate free anti-virus (Avast) and anti-spyware (SuperAntiSpyware). As to RAIDar, I have never had any problems installing it on any machine, from XP to Vista and then Win7. I usually download it, save it on the desktop and then install it by simply double clicking on it.
If you cannot get a good connection by disabling Norton's, I would suggest you open a support case with technical support. Once you have that case opened, edit your first post and append the case # to the subject line.
