Lads,

Got a problem with Norton Personal Firewall, for some reason the bloody thing wont let me connect to any web pages and more importantly PS.

I can connect to my ISP as normal with no problems, but the minute I open up my web browser and pick any site at random it wont work. When I disable the firewall I can connect to anything I want. Ive checked the settings and it is set up to allow traffic and Ive checked its up to date with patches. I just cant understand why it needs disabling to browse the web, any of you guys had the same problem or know a solution ?

I don't know the setup in Norton, but have a look through the rules, see if port 80 using tcp is blocked by one (incoming), it it is delete that rule.

If Norton doesn't work on rule tables that might make no sense to you :(
