Answer» An ISSUE with internet access can occur for a variety of reasons. It COULD be due to a temporary issue with your service provider or a firewall-related issue with your machine. We need to figure out what's causing this issue before we can REPAIR it. TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL TEMPORARILY AND INSPECT THE CONNECTION. - Open the Norton Device Security app on your computer.
- If you get the My Norton window, click Open next to Device Security.
- Select Settings options.
- Click Firewall in the Settings window.
- Click the slider next to Smart Firewall on the General Settings page to turn it off.
- Click Apply, then Permanently from the drop-down selection in the Protection Alert dialogue box.
- Click the OK button.
- Access the internet to see if you can connect to the Internet.
- Turn on Smart Firewall after repeating steps 1–4.
- Before proceeding, make certain that Smart Firewall is turned on.
Select one of the following options based on whether you can access the websites after turning off the firewall: - Only after I disable the firewall can I visit the websites. If you can access the Internet after disabling the firewall, the firewall rules must be reset.
- Activate Norton.
- If you get the My Norton window, click Open next to Device Security.
- Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
- Click Firewall in the Settings window.
- Click Reset next to Firewall Reset on the General Settings tab.
- Click Yes in the CONFIRMATION window.
- After that, click Apply and then Close.
- Even after disabling the firewall, I am unable to visit the Norton website. Uninstall and reinstall your Norton software if you STILL can't access the Internet after disabling the firewall.
