5. That sounds like a connection problem related to your browser.

Are you on any kind of proxy server? You may need fix your Firefox's connection settings.

Also are you using any kind of software firewall like Zone Alarm for example? Make sure it's configured to allow Firefox access.

8. im using norton personal firewall

i have no fucking idea how to change anything in there except for the damn security alert

[JaySherman]

12. Shut down Norton Firewall, try Firefox again...

Then tell me if that works.

13. it works!

can i get it to work with the firewall on?

[sir_captain]

14. can you

set norton to ignore firefox? that's probably not the most secure thing in the world to do, but it could be a temporary fix at least...i know you can do that with zonealarm

15. not to my knowledge

this is fucking unbelieveable

[sir_captain]

17. i've been poking around a bit

on tech forums for you, and the general consensus seems to be that norton's firewall sucks and makes configuring web browsers very difficult.

you might want to consider using a different firewall--you could use XP's built in one, or better yet, ZoneAlarm, which is free, and which will definitely not have this problem

[JaySherman]

16. Heh. Thought so.

:)

The bad news is I don't use NF so I unfortunately can't can't walk you through it. The best I can tell you is to open up NF and look in the options menu for program access or control.

I'm thinking NF should have detected Firefox automatically when you first connected. Try rebooting and see if it detects then.

6. other browsers are working ok?

ie is not giving you any trouble?

7. ie is fine

9. uninstall and than reinstall

if that doesnt work go in to your registry and remove all traces of it, than reinstall.. BTW, stop looking at those porn sites..j/k
