no connection to internet after installing norton firewall
 

i just installed norton firewall on another computer i have and now i can't access anything. IE won't load pages, aim won't connect, nor will liveupdate. has anyone run into this before?

I am , but don't know what to do , just uninstall it, and install zonealarm

uninstall this norton firewall

norton sucks.. dunno what to suggest, but plenty of firewalls available other than norton. If you are on a network, software on each workstation is not the best solution anyway.

makes no difference who makes the firewall, it must be configured.
it doesn't think for itself.
open the firewall (software) and look for "settings" or "preferences" or something.
you have to tell it what to let in and what to keep out.

this machine has no brain, use your own.

Norten sucks anyway.. its like zango with a better name.. just the same annoying

norton=shitty, get zonealarm and nod32 for protection

"Norton, my friend. How would you... like to fuck me... up the ass? I know you wanna fuck me Norton. And you know that I know that you know that you wanna fuck me. So I'm gonna bend over. And when I do, I'm counting to five. And when I'm done, start fucking!" - Eddie Murphy

If you really want to use that heap of junk, try changing the setting in norton that determines what kind of network/connection you have. If it has you set to direct connection for example, change it to home network. That seems to get it working most times :2 cents:

norton fucking SUCKS. uninstall that piece of shit and just use windows firewall along with avg for virus. Do regular spyware scans with AVG Spyware, Ad-aware, and Spybot.

thats not the problem. even when i disable the firewall nothing works. i've always heard people complain about norton but i've used it on my other computer running windows 2000 for 4 years now without a problem. this other computer is XP. also has norton antivirus installed.

only thing i don't like about windows firewall is that it doesn't monitor outbound, only inbound.

Yes I had it happen a few years ago, and I uninstalled Norton, and removed everyfile that even looked or sounded like it was a norton file from my computer.

Noton is a pain in the ass. Every now and then I still run acrros an old folder, and that was 3 years ago.

that sucks!!!!

Go to the settings for firewall and check so you did not block anything
(windows generic host process) is the most common that people block with norton

Hmm... are you sure? Just the other day XP's (SP2) firewall complained that Java was trying to call home.

norton is nothing but bullshit
it fucks up every connection you have

Get rid of Norton. I even dumped Zone alarm a while back when it kept crashing.

I use Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 and love it. easy to configure...All in one protection anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware spam popups etc etc
