Norton Personal Firewall

ringwood · 2nd April 2005, 23:26

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've really tried to get it on my own. I've been to NORTON and searched here for the fix.
I have just installed Norton Personal firewall 2005. Now I can not connect to streaming audio at Shoutcast.

If I open the Norton internet Security and turn off either SECURITY or PERSONAL FIREWALL, I can connect to the streaming audio.

Is there something that I can configure that will allow me to connect without having to turn these items off?

I really miss Shoutcast!

try to right click on ur norton icon in the system tray, go to firewall
in there, unblock which program that u want to unblock

I went to general rules and unblocked all that were blocked. This did not help. I put everything back to original.
If I tried setting the personal firewall to from Medium to LOW, I can now get the streaming audio, but is leaving it on LOW a good idea? I'll set it back to medium until I can find the specific culprit.

Thanks All,

Ring

Do you disable your smoke alarm at night too so it doesn't wake you up with the nasty noise?
If you disable your firewall you have NO firewall.

Mrs Squid,

That link did it for me. I had been going to General and looking at General Rules. Finding Nullsoft Winamp in programs is where I needed to be. I feel pretty dumb now that I see how obvious it was.

Thanks all for your help and patience.

P.S. I love calamari
