Usually, new computers come with a suite from norton... such as the Internet
Security Suite which includes a firewall, the AV program, anti spam and
probably more stuff.
Check to be sure that all of your internet security settings in IE and OE
are set properly and also check the firewall to be sure it is set to either
auto approve or prompt for approval when using OE or IE.
If Norton does include a firewall and it is turned on, be sure that the XP
firewall is disabled.
