Internet Access with IE 6.0 and NIS

Comment:
I have a problem accessing the internet with Norton Internet Security enabled. I use IE 6.0 with high speed cable ISP. However, when I enable Norton Internet Security and try access through IE, it doesn't connect even though I can confirm that the cable signal is good through the modem. When I disable NIS, access to the internet is fine. In NIS, Program Control setting for IE is automatic. I have also tried setting at Permit. I also removed and reloaded NIS. Nothing is working. Any ideas?

What version of NIS are you using? I have NIS 2004 and its working just fine. By the way, if you have upgraded to SP2, you should have first downloaded and installed Symantec WMI module for NIS.
