RE: I need help to configure Norton Firewall 2005

["Robert Body" <rbody99 at hotmail dot com>]

Hi M.Z.,

I have Norton Security 2006 and i didn't do anything special for cygwin.
I had internet connection up and running, and installed cygwin and X, and at 
some point Norton Firewall came up asking if I give permission to the 
individual components like "ssh" or "icewm" or even "setup.exe". I just said 
"Yes, always".

Which Norton version do you have? (not that I can help with that, but others 
who can, would want to know which version you're using)
