I have been using gnuserv/gnuclient with NT Emacs 21.3 under WinXP.

Everything works fine when NIS (Norton Internet Security) is disabled.
When NIS is enabled, I encounter the following 2 problems:
1. NIS continually keeps popping up warnings about:
"A remote system is attempting to access your computer"
with Remote Address equal to the IP address of the computer itself

2. Eventually, an emacs frame pops up, however:
- There is a 30-60 delay before emacs opens (as opposed to the
usual near-instanteous start when NIS is disabled)
- A new emacs process (and frame) is opened rather than using
the existing emacs-server process (and frame)
- When the frame finally does open, it is blank
(i.e. the requested file never appears in the buffer)
[NOTE: all of the above works fine when NIS is disabled]

I can solve problem 1, by passing the flag "-h 127.0.0.1" to
gnuclientw. However, no matter what I do, problem 2 persists?

e.g., None of the following fix problem 2:
- Setting the Firewall level to low
- Setting the Firewall level to custom with the Personal Firewall
level set to none
- Setting Internet access for emacs, gnuclientw, gnudoit, and
gnuserv all to "permit all"

Any thoughts on what might be going on here?

Thanks,
Jeff
