Hi all,

I have a longtime problem with Norton internet security 2003 and maps
sites like www.walla.co.il, it seems to block them all (I use israeli
maps sites like http://map.walla.co.il/ts.cgi and there aren't many of
them, most use the same mapping engine).
I mean maps site where you type an address and it shows you the
streets, traces journeys between points etc.

I know for sure its NIS 2003 because when I disable it temporarily the
maps work with no other changes to the system. I tried to add the map
site to its "web content" allowable list, with all possible options for
that site enabled (activex, cookies etc). I also tried to add the site
to the secure zones of IE6 SP1 but as I said that doesn't seem to be
the problem.

NIS has many more config screens, where one can open up ports and http
"signatures" but I don't know whether this applies to a web site. Is
there a way or some utility to trace what code the specific map site is
running and then enable that. also they usually use CGI scripting.


Any hints..?
I don't mind disabling it whenever going to a map site but other users
of the computer are novices and its too complicated for them..(they
wouldn't turn it back on and the PC would be at risk).

I do recall it worked once upon a time with NIS 2003 but probably one
of the updates blocked it.

thanks

By the way when NIS is enabled, the map site loads, but without the map
image, only the text shows. This phenomenon repeats whenever browsing
any site which uses the same map engine (its easy to tell by their
fonts and search options).


thanks

Nothing to do with being out of date and unsupported?

No such server as www.walla.co.il

Scripting on the page. Look at the NIS logs and see what it's blocking.

Trusted sites?

View page source look at the content, if you can't find the NIS logs.
