I use Norton Personal Firewall myself at home, with DSL.
What you need to do are two things: In the Configuration, look for a
Networking tab. Run the Networking Wizard so that it can recognize your DSL
modem and any network devices that you have (router, other pcs, etc).
Second, also in the Network tab, Add the loopback address: 127.0.0.1 This
alone may solve a lot of problems for you.
Design Flaw here in Norton: It doesn't recognize the loopback adapter by
default. You have to add it in manually.
It's a pain to figure out, and it took me a while before someone else helped
me with the same problem.

Since then the firewall has been a big pain in the backside. Thinking
perhaps it needed to see the new DSL modem I uninstalled it (Norton
Firewall) and reinstalled it 4 times and still it was a joke. Always asking
for permission for some function. I finally said the hell with it, permit
everything and it still kept asking for permission. I loved it with dial up
but it flat sucks with DSL. I even unistalled my Norton 2003 pro antivirus
each time I did the firewall. So does anybody know of an excellent firewall
that will work perfectly with DSL?
