Hey, Thanks for your email. Good guess, yeah I'm using Norton Internet Security 2005. I looked on the FAQ's and couldn't see any relating to my problem. I've looked again, but I seem to be over looking it. Can you send me the link?

Hi Daniel, I have configured Norton to allow gaim access without expectations (I'm thinking). I have also, tried to access the service without the firewall running but still get the same error.=20 On Internet Security, I access the Personal Firewall but I see no option = for adding HTTP ports that I've seen on previous versions. However, on the programs tab I have given gaim permission to access the internet at all times.=20 Marcos, To answer your question "which version of gaim? which version of = windows? are you using this on a home computer or a company desktop at work? = using a proxy?" I am running the latest gaim available on your site, on XP Pro SP2 on a = home computer with Norton Internet Security 2005. Thanks again, Why would it be that I can access ICQ but not MSN or Yahoo!?

Norton Internet Security has an annoying practice of blocking ports despite being set to allow unfettered access. I've been in contact with them about this and after weeks of jumping through hoops, the effective response I've gotten is "because it is a HTTP connection NIS protects you by blocking access and not telling you about it or showing any indication in the logs". Brian Morris created a step-by-step guide for changing up the HTTP port settings necessary: http://www.staticstream.com/gaim/index.php You can clearly see that NIS is the culprit by completely disabling it (not just the Personal Firewall sub component) - right click on the System Tray icon and select "Disable Norton Internet Security". -D On 5/24/05, Ray McKinnes <ray...@bt...> wrote: > Hi Daniel, >=20 > I have configured Norton to allow gaim access without expectations (I'm > thinking).

Excellent, thanks very much. I only had to add the 443 which I didn't think was relevant... Well my bad. Let hope it's as easy to do on Linux when I install it next week on my laptop ;0) Thanks again.

a little over a year ago (iirc) microsoft started forcing all clients to use ssl to connect, thus port 443, thus the port being listed on the faq. glad it works On 5/24/05, Ray McKinnes <ray...@bt...> wrote: > Excellent, thanks very much. >=20 > I only had to add the 443 which I didn't think was relevant...
