Using Win 98SE,IE6 and Norton Fire Wall. With Norton Fire Wall on I
cannot access finance web pages calling for a pass word and ID. With
the Wall off I can acess these sites? Any help. Thanks
In the browser, navigate to the page where you would enter the login
information. Open Norton's log viewer and clear all categories. Then
submit your login. Check Norton's logs to see what it blocked.
However, not all rules in Norton PF are defined to add an entry to the
log when they get triggered but the log is a good place to start with.
I've found sites that were getting crippled because Ad Blocking
(enabled) was preventing a javascript from opening elements on the page
in a URL that had "/ad." in it (but which were not for ads), so I had to
add that site to the Web Content rules (under options) to *not* block
any URLs with that substring in them. I usually block Referrer but some
sites need this to prove that you got to their web page from one of
their other web pages (i.e., they don't allow outside links into their
web site), so I have to unblock Referrer for that site under Web Content
options (Norton Internet Security used to call this option "Block
Referrer" but not makes it very obtuse by calling it "Block information
about visited sites". If a web site doesn't behave, clear the
firewall's logs, do your thing at that web site, and check the logs.
You could also go to
http://snipurl.com/nortonwall and search Symantec's
own KB site to find possible solutions by searching on "https".
