If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options I am not familiar with Norton Internet Security but most software firewalls
can block access to an application. I would check the various configuration
menus for application controls or rules and you should see a list of
applications and the opportunity to remove it from the blocked list. I have
found that Zone Alarm [free for personal use] is probably the most user
friendly software firewall and you can easily check the application page to
see what applications are currently blocked or allowed and change the
ist. --- Steve
