RE: Images and Norton Firewall

G'Day Michelle,

Yes I have NIS (Norton Internet Security) Pro (2001 to 2004) or
Premium (2005) on my system(s)
I think that it is possible that you are blocking yourself by bad
configuration in the fire wall.
To check this and help you, I need to know what version (Std or
Pro and what number, ie. 200? version) you have installed.
Most problems occur in NIS (Any Norton or other Firewall) is due
to Users being trigger happy, and clicking on "OK" in the
security warning popup window without reading the "Details" of
the warning.
By default, any warning will be "Blocked" - you now need to "Show
details" to see if the TCP detail is Outbound or Inbound and the
program that wants to perform this action.
Obviously any Operating System (Win 98, MR, 2k, XP system)
function should be allowed if it relates to the program we have
installed that also is part of the security warning TCP action.
Foremost is the actual installed program or other new function
(action) of a program that relates to the security warning and
action to allow it through the firewall before it works
correctly, this it may not do until you have allowed it and then
re-try the task. If done correctly, it will work on the second
attempt after allowing the .exe or other file action through the
firewall.
Other problem that occurs is that most Users fail to rescan the
'Programs" in the "Personal Firewall" -> Configure -> Programs to
set the program security in the first instant. So, do this, then
look for the new program and set it's firewall permission.
Next, you can also look in the 'Manual Program Control" window
(scroll up and down) and look for any program that is "Blocked" -
Normal "Internet Action" (column) settings are either Permit,
Automatic or Custom. any "Block All" will indicate the programs
or actions that you have blocked. - These you now need to
un-block (make sure you know that this is what you need to do)
the program or action by clicking on the little down arrow and
then on the required option in the popup window.
After performing any alteration, simply click on OK and exit out
of the NIS program, re-bbot the system and the program that was
blocked, should now function through the firewall without a hitch
!
? Need more help - let me know !
Regards Roger H.

Hi Roger,

Do you have Norton Firewall installed on your computer? Its only
a problem
when a Firewall is installed. I know that Norton Firewall causes
the
problem. I don't know if any other personal firewall software
causes it
too.

I have a computer upstairs that has Norton Firewall on it and I
can only
see the images that I listed. If you have Norton Firewall and you
can see
all of the images... well... then... I'm really confused.

Michelle

Seems I do not follow your problem, as I can see all images and
pages.
? was this a ploy to have us look at them ? or what ! ?
or you have fixed them and I am looking at the newer fixed pages
?

Hi Everyone,

I'm having the devil's own time trying to code thumbnails so
they'll show
on a webpage even when a Norton Firewall installed. I can't seem
to find
the common denominator.

At first I thought it might be the folder the images were in, so
I put them
all in an innocuous "images/" folder. No good. Then I thought
Norton might
not like my "_100" on the end of the title of my images (i.e.
jiffypop_100.jpg), but this doesn't seem to be it either. I went
back and
changed 2 or 3 of them and Norton still won't show it. Plus, on
one of the
pages an image with the "_100" is one of the only ones that
*does* show!
Aaaarrrrg.

I inherited this website, so I checked to see if the tables were
fine.
Seems so, everything was formatted right in Netscape. I took out
the <--
Web bot--> stuff that was left over. Where have I gone wrong?!

Please help! Here's the page I've been working on:
http://www.icgifts.com/Submenu%20Healing%20Gifts.htm The other
pages don't
work either, but I figure if I can get this one to work then I
can start on
the rest.

The only image that comes up on this page is the "Healing Angel"
(Angel-Pendant.jpg) image. The Angel thumbnail picture is the
same image
that I used on the page that shows the details of this product.

I've been cross-referencing with this page:
http://www.icgifts.com/Submenu%20Womensgifts.htm and the only
images that
come up on there are:

Shoe Lover Drawstring Pants (ShoeLoverDrawstringPants_125.jpg)
Shoe Lover Robe (ShoeLoverRobe_125.jpg)
Flip Flop Tote (FlipFlopToteBag_100.jpg)
Biwa Pearl, Blue Topaz & Amethyst Bracelet
(PearlTopazAmethystBracelet.htm)

The Biwa Pearl... image is the same for the thumbnail and the
page that
shows the details of this product.

Thanks in Advance,

Missy
