I have Norton Internet Security and it is on and I can play the radio.
What version? I have had this issue with NIS 2003 and 2004, not sure before that because I didn't try streaming radio. I try to listen to a station in South Carolina and I have to drop my firewall long enough to connect, otherwise nothing happens and it's the same with others too.

Could someone give me some tips on why it doesn't work for me?I configured my Norton firewall to permit Win Med Player,but I still hear no sound.I even opened WMP manually and nothing.:scratch: WMP works fine for me if I'm using it solo.No problem with streaming music.Just not thru CF.

What settings do you have your firewall and privacy controls set at? Maybe you have them set to high. I have mine set to medium. Have you tried turning off Norton to see if the radio works without it?

Mine is 2002. I pay the fee every year to keep it up-to-date but I haven't upgraded to a newer year.

Yes! It worked for me and I didn't have to disconfigure no disable the auto-protect. :clap: I wasn't going to use it if I had too because this is my brother's computer and I wouldn't want him to get mad at me. :p Thank you Erwin! :hug:
Autoprotect is the antivirus part of Norton Internet Security (or Norton Antivirus by itself), but the firewall is where the issue lies.....Does anyone know how to get it to work with NIS? CF isn't the only place that it doesn't work for me unless I drop my firewall and I would like to fix the problem if someone has a solution for it.

It is installed.I use it exclusively.I have NIS 2004 with updates.
What version of WMP ae you using? I'm using WMP 10 & NIS 2004. I go to Stream Audio to listen to music and I have to drop my firewall before I open the browser and choose my station, then I can put the firewall back up, but I don't like to do that all the time. I get the same effect there as I do here at CF and I just dont' understand why. Someone said something about using NIS 2002 w/updates and as I remember that version didn't have pop up blocking, but even if you disable pop up blocking in NIS 2003/2004 you still have to drop the firewall.

Love it, works great with firefox (Nice supprise :) ) and works with both my software & hardware firewall.

If your having a problem, check your version of Media Player, and try to connect to a radio station with just the Media Player, if you can't connect still , check your firewall settings.

WMP 10, I can connect through the WMP radio option without a problem. I can't find a setting to change to allow it besides disableing the firewall.
