Errors with Internet Security

I'm running Norton's Internet Security 2004 and have noticed that I get errors when submitting changes to xoops. Even though I've poked a hole in the firewall I still have to take it down in order to post reliable. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Thanks, I already knew that and as I mentioned I had opened a hole in my firewall specifically for that. The linked message only told me to do what I had already done. Turns out the problem is the way IS works. The site designation with a www. prefix did not work. I recreated it without the www. and it works fine.

Thanks for the help

The problem was Norton's Internet Security "IS" (or Personal Firewall), but more so it was cockpit error. There is an option screen for IS where you can open a hole in the firewall for specific websites. But if you add the site as the "www.yoursite.com" it won't work, if you add it with "yoursite.com" then then it works fine.
