Re: Cannot get BearSharePro past my firewall. Please help?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Norton Internet Security has built-in tables of applications that it
will allow or block. Peer-to-Peer file sharing apps are usually set
to blocked. You just have to change NIS's internal Application
settings to allow BearShare network access. I believe the setting
is under Program Control. I think the settings are Allow, Block or
Automatic. Check the Help function in NIS for exact instructions.
