Good Morning..

Not really sure if something's up with my Norton Firewall, but I've tried connecting with SmartFTP plenty but doesn't seem to connect.
SmartFTP is permitted in the program control, so not sure why it won't connect. The XP firewall doesn't make a difference when turned off, it'll only connect when Norton Firewall gets disabled..

Any ideas?!

Thankee. :)

Never had an issue with NIS2004Pro

Opened up TCP ports for BitTorrent and woosh!;)

As for the FTP issue. Try connecting using Passive FTP

Disabling it :P.

Other than that, there is something along the lines of opening the ports, but you'd have to find out what ports your FTP program is using.

I'd much rather keep my Norton, ta! ;)
Just wondering if there is any way round this at all?

Aye, don't use Norton. Same thing happend to me, but when downloading with BitTorrent.

I bought a router soon after though, which, obviously, had a built-in firewall... Much, much better.

Go do something similiar.

I think the moral of the story is don't use Norton firewall. I would stretch that to include all Norton products, I've never heard of them do anything other than cause problems.
