About the EasyLI Done!™ Series Tutorials

All EasyLI Done!™ Series Tutorials are designed to accomplish specific tasks on a step-by-step basis!
From connecting two computers together to share files using a crossover cable to setting up a secured wireless network connection, these online tutorials are extremely easy to follow. Although all tutorials were put together with the novice user (beginner) in mind, advanced users will find a few tricks to put to use also, such as 'How to Force Windows to Shutdown' when it just won't shutdown normally.
Before downloading or using any content or software on this site, please read the End User License Agreement (EULA).

Connect your computers together to backup or share your files between them, using a crossover cable.
If you have a router, connect all your computers to the router and share internet connections, as well as file sharing!
It's easy, it's fast, and best of all, it's now free!

Did you know? If you access the Internet without having a firewall turned on, your computer could be attacked by hackers, viruses, spyware and adware.

You should at least have a software-based firewall installed on your computers and turned on, before making the connection to the Internet. The best Internet protection you can get for computers is a hardware-based firewall, also known as a router. Routers hide your computers from the Internet by implementing network address translation (NAT).

Firewalls provide excellent protection against many viruses, adware,hackers, spyware and malware programs, by preventing those types of malicious programs from being able to automatically download themselves from the Internet onto computers. Malicious programs are able to infect computers that do not have a firewall installed on them, by scanning the computers for open ports, and once an open port is found, the malicious program automatically downloads itself onto that computer through that open port. Firewalls block open ports and prevent malicious programs from being able to get into computers.

Did you know? Firewalls can block you from accessing the Internet!

Firewalls are great, but if not properly configured, they can cause many problems. For instance, games that used to work fine begin to start crashing (freezing) the computer, problems sending and receiving e-mail begin to surface, and problems viewing web pages ('The page cannot be displayed...', 'Cannot find server...') start happening.

Follow the steps below to configure the Norton Internet Security Personal Firewall to allow web pages to display.

How to Configure the Norton Internet Security Personal Firewall to Allow Web Pages to Display

Firewalls are a good thing, but if they are not properly configured, they can cause extreme frustration.

Here's how to configure the Norton Internet Security Personal Firewall to allow web pages to display:

Step 1: With the right mouse button, click on the 'Norton Internet Security globe' Norton Internet Security tray icon icon.

Step 2: With the left mouse button, click on 'Open Norton Internet Security'.

Step 3: With the left mouse button, click on 'Personal Firewall'.
Step 4: With the left mouse button, click on the 'Configure' button.
Step 5: With the left mouse button, click on the 'Programs' tab.
Step 6: With the left mouse button, click on 'Microsoft Generic Host Process for Win32 Services' to highlight it, below the Program column.

Step 7: With the left mouse button, click on the down arrow to the right of 'Microsoft Generic Host Process for Win32 Services' next to 'Blocked All' and select 'Permit All', below the Internet Access column.

Repeat step 7 for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' or the web browser you are using.

Note: While you are in this section, it would be wise to repeat step 7 for all of the programs and services you are familiar with, such as the Microsoft Printer Spooler Service, which firewalls tend to block sooner or later, causing major problems with installing a printer. The items you set to 'Permit All' will usually not be blocked later by the firewall. If you are unsure what an item is or does, perform a Google search on it by typing it's name in the search box exactly as it appears in the list. Of course you can use other search engines too.

Step 8: When you are finished configuring the programs and services, then with the left mouse button, click on the 'OK' button.
Step 9: With the left mouse button, click on the 'Close' button Close to close Norton Internet Security.
