231247 2004-04-22 13:39:00 Just loaded Opera from Dec2003/Jan2004 PC W disk. If I manually open up network connection still will not connect to internet. IE6 & Outlook will connect up OK

Running XP firewall, AVG antivirus software. Shows no virus.
Status shows OK and speed 49Kb/s

231248 2004-04-22 22:39:00 Do you have another firewall apart from Windows XP's one? If so, you will need to grant access to Opera. Susan B (19)
231249 2004-04-22 22:42:00 do you use a proxy?

check in internet optoins underconnections if you have anything filled in under proxy. if so copy it accross to opera's proxy setting.

231250 2004-04-23 11:23:00 No proxy used. Loaded opera onto my win 98 machine ok so no problems there. Turned of xp firewall still no go. I had Norton pack installed with my PC an am unable to access settings to turn internet security off. I don’t have a record of password/login used when PC set up. It has expired and now use AVG. Do you know how to access Norton’s without the correct windows login code. I have logged in as administrator into xp but no go. I have always just hit enter key at log in to windows but no go. Norton’s window expects log on as supervisor to make changes but no luck with that either. Advocar (1098)
231251 2004-04-23 22:01:00 You want to get rid of Norton and all tiny traces of it, seeing you don't use it anymore and could be causing conflicts. There's been a lot of comments about Norton and conflict at this forum, and also how diff. it is to get rid of it. HTH :) mark c (247)
231252 2004-04-24 03:07:00 Try uninstalling Norton Internet Security. Thats most likely your problem there, as its blocking opera by default. If you can't access any settings to change it, then theres no point at all in keeping it. If you wanted to reinstall after that, you would get some functionality back :) KingWave (5517)
