I have NIS2005 on one of my computers, and had to set it to that. Good luck.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14223275 Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:40:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14223187 BlitzenZeus : Read the logs, figure which rules are preventing this, and make the approapriate changes. Rule based firewalls process rules in a certain order, and the first rule to effect the packet will be the last.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14223187 Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:21:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14223167 anon : I have a strange problem...

My internet service is a 5mbps/5mbps connection at the college I'm attending. The dorm room has network connection and plugged into my desktop computer.

I can communicate using AOL AIM instant messenger without
any problems. However, nobody can send me files/photos via the "direct connect" file transfer feature.

However, it works fine if I temporaritly disable my Norton Internet Security 2005 software. I tried changing Norton's personal firewall setting for AIM to "permit all".... still no luck...

Please help me figure this one out. Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14223167 Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:14:48 EDT
