Would someone step me through setting up Norton Internet Security Professional properly? I'm not entirely sure how to:
1) Find the IP address of my NAT or Firewall.
The FAQ says to consult my manual but I can't find this information.
It depends on whether or not you're using a router.
If you aren't, then go to a command prompt (DOS prompt) and type IPconfig. (this is the command for XP, it'll be slightly different under different OS) This will give you the IP of your computer.
If you are, go to the router console, this will usually involve opening your browser and entering the URL of the router, typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. If you've added a password, you'll be prompted for it. Once you're in the console, look for a tab that says Status. Look under the WAN heading for the IP address. This will be your "broadcast" IP, what's seen by the internet, and that's what you need to enter. The LAN IP will just be the local IP of your PC within your own little network, and will be something similiar to the router's URL (192.168.1.xxx) or (192.168.0.xxx). This IP is only important for when you configure the router or firewall port to pass any requests for your freenet port to the PC that's hosting the node.
Hope this helps. Feel free to e-mail me direct if you need further assistance.
