Norton Internet Security 2003 and Linksys Router

[sapiens74 0]

I have tried everything to get this to work.

 

I just picked up NIS 2003 and after I install it I cannot surf the net.

I can FTP, I can ping, just No DNS.

 

I am running through MY router and have tried everything I can think of to fix it.

 

Any ideas?

Have you tried disabling the firewall included in NIS? and just using the router firewall?

Yeah, but even then it won't work. I have to disable the whole pogram for it to work again.

does the router have any blocked ports

nis uses a proxy now. it loops a couple a times

[sapiens74 0]

Yeah its blocking certain ports.

 

 

WHich ones does NIS use tho?

poo im at work now.

ill have to check at home to be certain but they are in the 1000-1080 range if i remember correctly

nis also takes control of all loopback connections and runs them back thru the proxy.

try unblocking the all the router ports and let nis do all the work?

 

or temp unblock the router and open the nis status page.

it'll tell u what ports nis is using
