Internet blocked (running Norton Internet Security or similar)

I came across a few instances where people complained that they were unable to access Internet any more. There can be many reasons for that varying from hardware failure to some problem in settings.

One of the very common reason that I have seen in recent times is if you are using some Security program like Norton Internet Security that has some firewall which prevents a program from accessing the internet. Following are the steps for Norton Internet Security:

Start Norton Internet Security.

1. In the main window, click Norton Internet Security tab.
2. Click Settings.
3. Under Web Browsing, click Personal Firewall and then click Configure.
4. In the left side of Norton Internet Security Options window, click Personal Firewall and then click Program Control.
5. In the Program Column, select the specific program (Internet Explorer or any other browser that you use).
6. Change the Access from Block or Custom to Allow.
7. Click OK.

This should enable the internet access for you. For other programs, visit the following website to learn more:
