posting using xp in this forum

[Nickuk]

Dear Mod`s / Admin,
I tried to post using windows xp pro (I.E 6), but everytime i clicked submit, it said host error.

I then went on my other pc using windows NT and my posts get added without any problems.

I thought you should be aware just incase.
Regards
Nick

Tried on Win XP Pro, no problems.
Might be something related to your OS/IE settings.

I'm on XP with Mozilla and having no problems. And I'm only just down the road from you .

Disable your firewall then click reply.

>Disable your firewall then click reply.

First download a safe browser. The latest Netscape works so well I'm almost afraid to review sites with it, but if you're only viewing for yourself that wouldn't be a problem.

At the very moment I would not advice anyone to disable his or her firewall. Especially if he/she is running XP or W2K - Better reconfigure your frewall so it lets you get full access to this forum.

Second. I've just this moment finished cleaning up real a virus mess for a new customer.

I've posted to this forum from behind any number of firewalls, including software and hardware from different manufacturers.

Try resetting your security and privacy settings in tools -> Internet Options to defaults for the Internet zone. If that doesn't work, try resetting your advanced options to defaults.

At the height, yesterday, I was getting over 100 an hour. I still haven't seen less than 75 an hour since three days ago.

I'm getting them every 10 seconds now .

setting to default doesnt work

(This post has been added on other machine) i dont really want to disable the f wall at the moment with the Blaster Worm being sent worldwide...so i guess ill have to try something else......im at work now, and it means i can not post here from home :-(

> dont really want to disable the f wall at the moment

Do not disable firewall, I just deleted 270 virus mails! I tried posting from 2 different XP machines both with firewall on. Posting here work just fine. It must be something else.

It would be interesting to know if you can post to this forum using a different browser like Mozilla or Opera.

Blaster isn't a firewall issue, but the posting problem is, with Norton Firewall for one.

 

[giz]

I know several people who have had endless problems with Norton Firewall.

I'd go with Zone Alarm as a more reliable product at this time.

 

[hannes]

I was referring to Win XP integrated firewall that OS itself offers. Those 2 machines use both that one. I don't have experience about Norton or other 3rd party software.

 

[Nickuk]

well im not sure why, but yes it seems as though norton internet security has something to do with it.!!

I disabled norton for post, and it went through fine, after enable it reverted back to not allowing.

It might be best for all norton users to put www.resource-zone.com into the list of accepted sites within the software.

Short term i can cope with this, but long turm might go onto zone alarm...much better.??

 

[totalxsive]

Never used Norton, but if you can read this then it works fine with ZoneAlarm.

I had the same problem with win2000pro and norton.
I just added the URL of this forum in norton: options:internet security: advanced options;
activated coocies, referer, browser for this URL and it works
