Internet access blocked in Windows XP

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 2 Dec 2004

Q:
After upgrading NBM 3.7 to SP 3 and NetWare 6 to SP5, I now get the 403 error ("You are not logged in ..."). A few PCs can get on to the Internet; most cannot. We're running XP Pro, some with Client 4.9, some with 4.9.1, and some with 4.9 SP2. There is no real pattern of what works and what doesn't. Most do not access the internet with proxy numbers in. I tried upgrading older clients to newest client; I ran dwntrust then clntrust ; I changed SSO settings ...

A:
Make sure you've disabled the Personal Firewall connection in Windows XP. The Windows firewall always blocks CLNTRUST connections.
