I've recently done a wireless network/router setup where my desktop and my laptop are sharing a dsl connection. Everything works fine except a few things such as, I can't access newsgroups and I can't access a few webpages like my work email through the Outlook Web server page unless I "disable" Norton Internet Security (2003). Once I do that it's fine. I've tried putting the security level on the lowest setting, and I've tried the seemingly difficult process of adding the intruding IP address to the "trusted" list although I don't know if I'm doing that correctly. Ideas welcomed. Thanks, Drew

In NIS scan your computer for Internet enabled programs and then check mark the boxes beside each one. When the program tries to connect to the internet it will give you a prompt on the screen with block or permit. Select permit and check the box at the bottom of the menu "on every attempt". NIS has to be trained on the programs just once and you will never get a warning again unless you reinstall NIS. -- Sqr Overseer: alt.os.windows-xp -- "DP" <dperk@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:DugU9.6393$WT3.4734@news.bellsouth.net... > I've recently done a wireless network/router setup where my desktop and my > laptop are sharing a dsl connection.

Thanks, I have NIS 2002 on the desktop and the process is a little different and it seems it did it automatically on that setup. That worked like a charm!

Yes it is a little different. I like the Symantec products AV and NIS but am not very fond of their upgrade path's -- Sqr Overseer: alt.os.windows-xp -- "DP" <dperk@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:9qhU9.6836$WT3.362@news.bellsouth.net... > Thanks, I have NIS 2002 on the desktop and the process is a little different > and it seems it did it automatically on that setup.

I knew that someday sqr would write: | Yes it is a little different. | | I like the Symantec products AV and NIS but am not very fond of their | upgrade path's | You don't like $30~40 every year? I try to wait for a Store Rebate _AND_ the Upgrade Rebate... $0~10 that way. Last time I couldn't wait was when I installed XP; paid my $40 and 2 weeks later saw an ad for $0 with the rebates. -- - relic - Resident Psychic: alt.os.windows-xp
