Norton Internet Security Professional 2004 problem

[Guest]

Hello,

I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place but I am sure there is
someone out there who is going to give me a hand (I tried to find a forum
that deals with Norton Internet Security 2004, even on Symantec's Web site
but couldn’t find any???). I was getting the following error message when
trying to download emails using Outlook 2003.
Quote:
Task 'mail.domainname.com - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The
connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact
your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

But I have been monitoring this and it seems that I am only getting this
during the morning hours then by the time it is midday things seems to be
find again ...I was able to find out that I have a problem with the
configuration of my Norton Internet Security 2004.

When I go to my office I am logging to the net with my laptop thru the
office network and using the office Firewall System (this forces me to
disable my personal firewall); which works just fine – I can access my emails
and browse secure sites…even easily get updates from Microsoft. But when I
log on from home directly to the net my personal firewall is enabled I simply
can’t do any of that stuff…

I am using Norton Internet Security Professional 2004 as I have just said
earlier; just a few weeks ago I started getting this problem with the
connection (Norton new updates have blocked some ports…I think). I did find
out from the support guys at my ISP that I'll need ports 2082, 2083, 2095,
and 2096 opened to access webmail and secure sites.

Now I can’t figure out how to program Norton to do just that. I would to
love to hear if someone was facing a similar problem and how they were able
to solve it.

I am also looking into possibilities for switching to another Internet
Security/Anti-virus program; because since I have installed the NIS2004 I
have been getting problems. I would love to get recommendations on
alternative of NIS2004…I am sorry about leave Norton especially when I have
been using their program since I can’t remember when!!

 One more note…I have SPII installed for more than a month now but even
when I have disabled Windows Firewall …in the Security Center it shows it as
being turned on?? Can you explain that to me??

I look forward to hearing from anyone soon!

Thanks

Hi ... I think you have to make some sore of rules with NISP to allow access
but I am sorry I don't know NISP and what it is like but i will say that i
wouldn't never use Norton or Macfee product in my opinion ... If you are
looking for a good firewall and anti virus programs i will leave a few good
sites below this post and i am sure you wouldn't get many that will disagree
with them

I entirely concur. I have used both McAfee and Norton for several years
before I "saw the light". Norton in particular slowed down my computers
and I had a terrible time extracting it entirely from the registry.
Finally someone showed me a better way... in my case, Trend Micro. They
have a 90 day free trial offer or $24.95 for the year...either/or deal.
It has a small footprint and gives daily (sometimes twice daily)
updates. Great little security suite.
