MIR2 Server Files and NIS 2004

[Tkonian]

I am getting serious and am looking to go live with my server. But I have a little problem.

I have got Norton Internet Security 2004 installed on my system, and although all the programs run, Gate 0 will not open.

If I disable NIS2004, within a few seconds Gate 0 Opens, so I know it's the NIS that the cause.

I have all 7 sevens set to Permit All in the program list, and ports 7000, 7100, 7200 also added in, I have enlisted the help of Nitro, but to no avail.

Please can anyone help?

Cheers, Tkonian.

Really??

I thought Noron was best 1 around lmao :O
Just get a lil one from Downloads.com or summit. Still got that protection then.

I agree with Lionheart, I been using Norton software for about 5 years with no problems. And according to the reviews I read from different magazine's and website's it is one of the better ones arround. Maybe not THE best, but's it's up there.

Anyway, It seems to be working now. I added like a dozens PORT numbers to a list I found in one of the menus, if you want a more accurate reference, I'll have to check. Also set all the SERVER programs to Permit All and now it seems to be working.

Took 3 re-boots, for it to cotton on, but now it works.

I even ran a security checker, even with the extra ports open, I am still totally secure.

Thanks for the advice.

By the way, I changed my mind, running a MIR3 server instead. Although not convinced my system is up to it

1 word if u can set it up. UNIX

Norton is very restricive and all of those "reviews" you read are actually paid 'review' ads (which is totally legal yet unfair). :-/

Yea, UNIX is the best. :P

if you cant still go with McAfee

The windows firewall is perfectly fine lol. And WinXP SP2's firewall is even better. Wish they'd hurry up and update 2k3's one.
