Spoilersync And Norton Internet Security 2006

[+Master Mariner]

I have not used SpoilerSync since November when it was working fine. When I tried to use it yesterday it would not work. Initially, I thought it may have been the GPX file but, after sending it to Keith of aRRKS, he confirmed the GPX file worked for him.

 

Keith gave considerable assistance and it was traced down to Norton Internet Security 2006 that was the cause of the problem. Enabling the Windows firewall and disabling the Norton firewall caused SpoilerSync to work. No matter what I try with Norton I cannot get it to allow SpoilerSync to work.

 

Does anyone else use SpoilerSync with NIS 2006? If so, does SpoilerSync work OK and what settings do you have in Norton to allow SS to access GC.com?

 

Handfulls of hair are now littering my desk so any assisatnce would be appreciated!

Never used Norton but looks like the Firewall element requires configuring to allow the application out onto the net. Found this article and although it is for a different application it might help.

Thanks for the suggestions - particularly Moote's. I have tried the instructions that Moote linked to but had already done this a number of times before. I also ran Program Scan in Norton and it did not identify SpoilerSync as a program that requires access to the internet. Strange!

 

Thanks again.
