This is a problem caused by Norton Internet Security 2004, so you should
seek support from Symantec.

IIS5.1 runs perfectly fine on XP Pro without Norton installed.

I have seem various people say that they ran Security Software from Vendor
X, and IIS wouldn't work afterwards, and the resolution is all-over the
place (some are still unresolved). The Security Software basically munges a
lot of your system settings assuming a server is never going to run on your
machine, so you need to ask the software vendor "What did you change and how
do I fix what you broke"? If their explanation is unclear, either pursue it
further or use another product that is compatible with your needs.

Hello,
Has anyone gotten IIS to work properly while using Norton Internet
Security 2004? More specifically, under Win XP Pro (IIS 5.1) with the
firewall on, the WWW Publishing Service fails to load. According to
Symantec:
-----
Symantec does not support running any version of
Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall on
any edition of Windows 2000, Windows XP, or 2003
servers. If you choose to install Norton Internet
Security on a server, no technical support beyond the
Symantec Knowledge Base will be provided.
Windows servers need to perform certain Internet
services during startup that Norton Internet Security
normally blocks. This can affect computers running
IIS or other servers on Windows 2000/XP Professional.
Symantec provides technical notes that explain how to
configure Norton Internet Security to allow server
processes that need access to the Internet during
startup. The technical notes are available from the
Symantec Knowledge Base at:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/docid/2000053008391436
-----
OK, understood, but if I check out the link, it doesn't make any sense.
The Symantec document describes adding a "generic rule" but the steps
describe options that aren't there! Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Stephane
