G'day all,
I recently (last 24 hours) successfully downloaded Norton's Internet Security 2005. I just tried to join "chat" (10 mins ago) and didn't get very far......
Is my new "Internet Security" preventing me from joining chat?
As I didn't know just how "protected" I am, I used Nortons to tell me. This is what they told me:-
What does all of this mean to your average user? Does it give any clues re HOW protected I need to be? Am I TOO protected perhaps?
Ideas please......
Regards,

Note that all other aspects of the test show me as being in "stealth" mode. This one (above) showed me as being "Open".Nortons said:113 Ident / Authentication. This service is required by some mail, news, or relay chat servers to allow access. A stealth result on this port could cause performance problems.
