Norton Internet Security blocks access

[jermyr]

Help,
I am using XP Home with NIS version 4.0 currently updated with live update
and just installed SP2. With NIS enabled, I can't access the web or my email
account. The IE window gives the usual "this site can't be accessed." I have
the XP firewall enabled but even when I disable it using only the NIS
firewall, the problem persists.
Thanks for any advice.

You need to take the next step and disable NIS to see if NIS is the culprit.

It is NIS. I have been having this problem for months. I can get online but
then will be knocked off. I HATE NIS. Get rid of it.

i also just did a live update via norton firewall 2005 and now i cannot
access the internet unless i shut off the firewall.

I had to put Microsoft firewall back on to be protected.
Does anyone know of a site on norton that fixes this?

I am running xp pro sp2

It seems to have only happened on xp because we have it on win2000 with no
proboems
