Hi

I have had to re-install a copy of Norton Internet Security 2003 onto someones pc and everything was going fine, until I found that there was no connection to the net (or email). After disabling the firewall temporaily, it works fine so the ntl cable modem is working fine, but Norton's firewall is blocking it.
I have been through every setting in all the options I can find in NIS 2003 and it still won't work. Have even ventured onto Symantec's website and thats no use either.
The OS is Windows XP Home on SP1, and I would rather not go to SP2 due to the user losing all their data before doing a Windows Update.
I have heard of Norton blocking the internet before but cannot for the life of me get this one working.

Any help would be gratefully received!
Thanks
