Firewall and other bits
Wonder if any one can help me. I have recently installed the latest version of Norton Firewall. Since doing it I keep receiving more alerts that i'm being scaned then ever before.
What concerns me, is that sometimes after i block a scan my connection goes down. The question is, does ntl scan my computer to see if its active and if so can it disrupt my connection??
can you post details of the actual message that you are getting? it may not be a scan, but someone such as the ip lease being checked/ renewed. how often does it occur?

Re: Firewall and other bits
Well since i posted this morning, i did a complete uninstall of Norton firewall and reinstalled it.
At the moment everything seems ok again.
So thanks for all your help.
If the problem returns i will post again.
