I discovered the problem was Norton's Firewall. Comcast --- now
Xfinity--- had installed it for their cable users. I had enabled it
when I set up LogMeIn. Do I need the Firewall for LogmeIn?
Most home routers include a perfectly good firewall. And even if
that's disabled, NAT is a natural firewall (as long as you don't have
Universal Plug'n'Play enabled).
Mac OS X comes with a perfectly good firewall.
Why would you install yet-another?
And as we have said, over and over, over the years, on these LEM
lists... Symantec is BAD. Get it AWAY from your Mac !!!!!! That
advice has not changed.
