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?

hi 2much,
uninstall nis, and install any other good free firewall such as sygate, zone alarm, outpost etc. for more info on firewalls go to www.thepublicworks.com security section and link to firewall guide in the firewall section.

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.
