I'm running NIS 2003 on my laptop and it won't let me into CNET and ZDNet and some other sites for security reasons. With NIS 2002 I don't have this problem and it seems like it asked me to configure the settings when I did. How can I get 2003 to ease up a bit and let me make the choice instead of blocking it automatically? Drew

You need to either turn the feature off or configure the firewall correctly to able free access to the sites. -- TezmitcH http://kickme.to/constrictor (snake site) http://reptilians.org/boards/index.php (Reptile Forum) http://www.nspcc.org.uk/donate-4-free/ (click here daily to donate for free) http://www.cviewmedia.com - About the most prolific UK herp site http://www.f-b-h.co.uk - The good guys fighting the likes of the RSPCA and Animal Aid *spit*

Every time I try to go to CNET I get a security alert and it times out. Oddly enough it also happens on the Symantec site, where it searches the knowledge/article base on their site. Thanks, Drew

Thanks, > Drew The site loads fine for me using Norton Firewall and Antivirus 2003 so maybe your barking up the wrong tree. Could be a mater of trying to access these site via a proxy or without a proxy if you are configured to use one. -- TezmitcH http://kickme.to/constrictor (snake site) http://reptilians.org/boards/index.php (Reptile Forum) http://www.nspcc.org.uk/donate-4-free/ (click here daily to donate for free) http://www.cviewmedia.com - About the most prolific UK herp site http://www.f-b-h.co.uk - The good guys fighting the likes of the RSPCA and Animal Aid *spit*
