wolv005 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hello all,I've just installed Norton Internet Security 2007 on my PC.I had a 2 month trial with my new PC and decided to get it as I got a good deal on it at a store.Now it worked perfectly fine with the trial version (i'm assuming it was a 2006 version of the software as the GUI interface was quite different) but now, my connections keep dropping. There are no warnings or errors.Just, I launch utorrent, get good download speed at first, come back a few hours later and then nothing... can't download or upload. I relaunch utorrent, again starts off ok, then nothing.Yes I have read the FAQs and I didn't see anything on this subject as I don't have the issues mentioned in there.I've also done a "port forwarding" check and it looks like my port forwarding no longer works.I've also tried to restart my router but that's not the problem as i'm able to surf the web while utorrent doesn't seem to work.Please help, anyoneThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Try uninstalling NIS -- does the same thing happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolv005 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks for the reply.I've turned off the firewall and now all is working fine.But that's not much of a security if I can't have the firewall up and running.I'm wondering if my setup is ok or not... it's set to allow all connections through utorrent.I would have assumed that would be fine but maybe I need to specify the port forward?What do you think?Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yah... you're going to need to forward the port and allow µTorrent to listen through the firewall. How? I'm not sure, as I (and many/most other users here) don't use NIS (or any Symantec product for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
