Here are the steps for NIS 2002: See below for 2003

1) Open the NIS/NPF Main Window
2) Click on Personal Firewall


3) Click on Internet Access Control
4) Click on Configure
5) Click on System Wide Settings


6) Click on Add


7) Select Permit


8) Click on Next
9) Select Connections to and from other computers


10) Select Only the computers and sites listed below
11) Click on Add


12) Select individually and type the following IP Addresses in the box spacing once between each

206.65.191.129
209.123.109.175
209.191.132.40
216.200.176.6
40.132.191.209

Note: Because of a bug in NIS/NPF, the IP address of some incoming ICMP requests are inverted. Therefore, NIS/NPF "sees" 209.191.132.40 as 40.132.191.209. This means that although 40.132.191.209 is not an IP address belonging to BBR, it must be included to be pingable. It is important to note that this is not a security risk. It simply means that your computer will respond to a request from 40.132.191.209. It is hoped that Symantec will correct this soon.

13) Click OK


14) Click Next
15) Select ICMP
16) Select Only the types of communication or ports listed below
17) Click Add


18) Select 0 echo Echo Reply and 8 echo-req Echo Request


19) Click OK
20) Type a name such as "BBR Pingable"
21) Click OK
22) Close NIS/NPF Window
23) Reboot

Note: This rule must be moved to the top of the System Rules, otherwise the default rules will override the DSLR rule. If you prefer not to be pingable by DSLR/BBR all of the time, you may de-select the rule that you just created by un-checking the box next to it in the System-wide Settings list. To become pingable for tweak tests, simply activate the rule before initiating the test, then de-active after.

Here are the steps for NIS 2003:

1) Open the NIS/NPF 2003 Main Window
2) Click on Personal Firewall



3) Click on Configure (enter password if requested)
4) Click on the Advanced Tab



5) Click on the General Rules button
6) Continue with the above directions for NIS 2002 starting from number 6.
