Firewall Settings Help

Sun Jun 06, 2004 5:15 pm

A friend of mine keeps getting the
ERROR : Oops you have been directed to this page from the wrong place! If you KEEP getting this error, chances are you have some security settings enabled that are not letting you play Neopets correctly.
. She has Norton's firewall and I told her y'all had a conversation about this before. If anybody remembers how to fix it so Neopets will work, please speak up. :)

I know your friend is not going to like this answer, but I have to turn my norton off to play neo. I've tried everything including putting it on the allowed sites list and nothing I've found works. If she's only playing neo at the time and she's sure she has a clean system, she should be fine with it off. :(

Try this link from Symantec's database and see if it helps.

There is a setting in the options-advanced options for the symantec client firewall that I had to enable, not sure if it is the same for Norton (should be). Basically, you need to enable referer cookies (its disabled by default).
