Hi!

I am making a server for a game, (www.moparscape.org), and I'm almost done, just one problem, when I open RunServer, (which starts the server, so others can access the server), I get a Norton AV alert, saying the following:


Norton Internet Worm Protection has detected and blocked an intrusion attempt.

Hide Details

Security rule Default Block SERV-Me Trojan horse <- Name makes me a bit cautious, trojan?
Date 03/01/2007
Time 12:15
Path C:\Program File\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\java.exe < You need JDK 6.0 for your server to run.
Direction Inbound
Local address All local network adapters
Local port 5555
Protocol TCP

OK

[] Don't show an alert for this threat again.

-------------------------------------

Hope you can help, thanks!

What version of Norton AV do you have?

I have 2007 and this is how I'd allow a port. Go to Settings, Internet Worm Protection, Configure, General Rules. Add a new rule to 'allow' connections. Follow the prompts. About the 4th screen in (allowing protocols), you'll choose "Only communication that matches types and ports". Then click the Add button to specifiy the port.

I hope this helps you.
