Norton Personal Firewall
I've just installed Norton Personal Firewall 2002. and configured it with most of the default settings.
With it running, I'm having problems using the Forums > modify page in the admin cp. When I click on it to list the forums, it seems to be looping on loading something or redirecting to another page. By default, my IE plays a "click" sound effect when I click a link or get redirected. I get about 3-4 a second - and a total of about 100 clicks in a very short space of time as I try and close the application. The end result is that IE locks up and I have to kill it. Its very strange indeed.
With Norton Firewall turned off, it works ok. Is this a cookie or secuirty issue? Norton will accept cookies from the domain my forums are on and is also configured to allow IE to access the Internet and ports etc.
I was very dubious about using a software firewall, but i am concerned about security as I spend long amounts of time conencted to the 'net and IRC, etc.
Anyone had this problem? Hope someone can help! This doesn't happen on any other site I use control panels, frames or forms.
Some other information which may be of some use...?
O/S: WinXP 5.1 - 2600 + all patches and Windows Updates.
IE: version: 6.0.200.0000.xpclient.01817-1148
Norton Personal Firewall 2002: version 4.0
