James / Mick, Thank you both for your prompt response to this inquiry. The Symantec logs indicate that, per the VNC pass rule that I added, it is ignoring traffic. I tried adding both the VNC executable to the allowed list as well as TCP port 5900. Norton disables the WinXP firewall, but I have added 5900 as an exception there as well. The odd thing is that even when I disable NIS (firewall and antivirus), it is still blocked. Tonight I will work with a system that I know is clean and add / remove NIS to confirm that it is truly the offending program. I will also add very detailed pass rules to NIS to allow a specific PC access through the firewall, just to see. Thanks again for the help!

Is there a workaround? Have you tried being a bit more detailed with the rule you create in Norton? Specify ports, protocols, MAC addresses and IP addresses, from/to, to see if it makes a difference. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Mick [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list --------------------------------- The fish are biting.
