I have mentioned this before, but Sherry has suggested I ask again on the list.
My main machine runs Legacy V6 deluxe and is on XP SP2 and also has Norton Internet Security (NIS), with the Firewall operating to protect the broadband link. The other two machines connect to the internet through this machine (via ethernet), but don't run a firewall because they are behind the firewall on the first one. One has XP SP2 and NIS running for anti virus etc and the other has ME and AVG running. The two machines without a firewall correctly informed me when an update was available e.g. they said something like Installed version 6.0.0.64, available update 6.0.0.66. But my main machine still said "installed version 6.0.0.64, you have the latest build". This looks as if it is an issue with NIS blocking the update check software and probably a privacy setting in NIS to do with "active pages". I've made a couple of changes to see if it makes a difference, but won't know until the next update is available Is there anyone with NIS who has managed to resolve this or who has the same issue? Equally, is there someone with NIS and who gets the update message OK? By the way, I am not looking for suggestions about changing Firewalls as I am happy with NIS - I just want to find the setting needed to overcome this problem. Other sites publish configuration settings for firewalls when they know that their software causes an issue, but Millenia don't have a system running NIS and so aren't aware of the problem. I do get Legacy News right up to date on Legacy Home, so the machine obviously will communicate with the Legacy web site OK from within the program. It's just the "updates" bit that doesn't work.
