kluelos Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Most stable versions can simply be installed over an existing version, whether upgrading or downgrading. Many software firewalls have trouble with either, treating the change as a whole new program that they block because they have no instructions otherwise. So whenever you upgrade, for any internet application, you should habitually delete and re-create your firewall rules for that application. Try that and see if it solves your problem.

kluelos Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 How you do it depends on which firewall(s) you have. Read the docs, consult the help facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluelos Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Multiple firewalls will give you trouble (without making you more secure), just as they are doing now. Firewalls are like gates, it only takes one that's closed, to block the traffic, and it doesn't matter if the other gates are open or not. The traffic is still blocked by the one that's closed. You will need to adjust the Windows firewall, not just for Norton, and you will need to make EVERY future adjustment for any reason, to ALL your firewalls, not just one. See the first sentence.
