Have you by any chance downloaded the Microsoft Service pack 2? If you have that is probably your problem. It is not compatible with Norton's Firewall.

What is incompatible is running both the MS and Norton FW's at the same time.

Regards, RW9 - Currently running Norton Systemworks Pro 2004 and SP2.

Both firewalls can't be ran simultaneously. If SP2 is installed, go to your Control Panel, open "Windows Firewall" and choose "Off (Not Recommended)".

This should give NIS the field.

Hope it helps.

Really?? I'm not having any problems with Norton at all - NEVER. I have MS-XP and Norton 2004.

I use SP2 and Norton 2004 without difficulty.
