If you had it on before you got DSL, then probably not, but some folks
get DSL because they are going to start working from home rather than
just for surfing, so along with the DSL, you may have introduced a VPN
to connect to work, or an anti-virus program that you didn't have
before. So if Norton was there when it was working, then it is probably
not the problem.
Do you have a 2-wire DSL modem? They have a built in firewall, and it
could be a factor. But if I knew the real issue, I would get my own
going. Fortunately it hasn't be a big annoyance for me, so I have not
put much effort in trying to figure out what is wrong. For that I am
thankful since I don't have a lot of time to spare. Whoever figures it
out first, let the other one know ;-)
