No reply from server - and nothing fixes it

[jamie_betts]

Okay, so I could connect to a server on Saturday, then since Sunday I am unable to.

I have read the FAQ. The server is up and running.

I have run in debug, disabled my firewall, and checked the server is working (other people are connected, but me and a few others are having this problem). Nothing fixes it.

Here is the log file:

Something is going wrong somewhere, and it seems other people are experienced the same problem (presumably for the same reason).

Any suggestions?

Okay, its fixed.

This may be useful to other people.

There is some kind of virus which hijacks Norton Internet Security. It imposes a heavily restrictive firewall and also changes settings in NIS to prevent you removing the program.

I had to manually remove Norton Internet Security (which took ages) and just use the SP2 firewall. It now works perfectly.

What I would say, is that if you are having problems running TS (and it is a new problem) and have Norton Internet Security installed, then get rid of it (though add/remove in the control panel may not work).

However, once removed, everything worked again for me.
