Re: [Help] Norton Internet Sec and AOL
here are some other ideas/things to try...
are you running any other firewall, like the Windows Firewall? if so, shut it down
here is a Symantec toll-free #... 800-441-7234 with long wait times (except early morning hours) but users have had success with it
one Norton Internet Security 2005 user who is having success with AOL 9.0 listed these firewall settings that you might wish to compare...
*********************
Firewall Program Control settings are on Automatic Program Control and listed are:
AOL Connectivity Service
AOL Core Application
AOL Radio
All are multiple category.
Firewall privacy settings are at medium. (Internet Options are medium-high.)
*********************
what about Parental Control? is it by any chance set to block AIM by default?
i'd be interested in your response to the suggestion proffered above re NAV internet options settings for Instant Messenger
good luck

| I am using AOL 8.0, not 9.0 hence a lot of those services dont exist in 8.0. WHat i did was give AOL all TCP and UDP access to and from with all ports. Basically giving AOL free access in and out on all ports. I thought this would do it, but it didnt.
I logged onto AOL and could not get the buddy list to pop up. If i shut the firewall off, the buddy list pops up so something is blocking it still yet I have no clue.
Funny enough I have AOL's stand-alone IM application and I can log into that with no issue.
I feel with every iteration of Norton, the program gets more bloated and blocks more than the last without helping the user out.
Any help again greatly appreciated |
