[dba-Tech] Norton Firewall

ooh, have you read www.theregister.co.uk 's opinion of Steve Gibson? He
doesn't come out of it too well! Don't think they think very highly of him
at all...

Hi Andy,
You can add or remove open ports from Norton Firewall (NF). My port 1025 is
not open. I checked with ShieldsUp and Leaktest and everything is secure.

To check it out, open NF and go to options there should be a list of which
ports are open. The way to do this is different in every version so I can't
help you beyond that. I've used NF since it first came out and am now using
Norton Internet Security 2003, so if that's the version you're using I can
try to make it more clear.

BTW: Steve Gibson (ShieldsUp author) does recommend you update your NF to
version 2.55 or higher.
