Norton & IP Addresses Fox_Worthy
It is obvious that you are very confused about what you are doing, and to tell you the truth, you are confusing me also.
1) 127.0.0.1 a default IP address that all windows PCs get, you will find this on your hosts file (which can be found in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\)
I really don't know what you are trying to achieve by using this Windows default IP Address.
Please note, if you are on a network the DHCP server will allocate your PC a temporary IP address that will be used by it to access the internet and other network services. As far as I am aware, the default IP address (127.0.0.1) is not used externally.
2) To use LW with Norton (I have used NPF 2003 and I now use NPF 2005) you will have to create a rule or Norton will block anything that tries to access the internet without your permission.
Hope this helps but I think that you are so confused that you will need a computer tech person to actually show you what to do.
