Printer Spooler Service Internet Access

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Since the lastest update, I have my Internet firewall (Norton Sercurity
2005) keep flagging an attempt by the Priner Spooler Service to access
the internet.
It seems to happen once a screen saver has run, and dispite telling the
firewall to either accept or refuse it keeps coming up.

Now I know that this is a XP forum and not a Norton forum, but I'm
thinking that the update must have altered something for it to keep
setting the thing off, especially as when I disable the screensaver,
restart and the problem goes away.

Help please!!


Cheers

Deny the print spooler internet access and find an option to not bother you
with it again.

I think I may have fixed it! Open Norton, double click "personal firewall",
go to configure, click on "trusted sites", now add the IP address it keeps
poping up under "more information". In my case there were 2. I added them to
the "trusted sites" and wala!!!! So far so good. I'll post reults in the am
when I get up.

Why are you allowing the Print Spooler internet access? Are you on a
network?

I have no idea why a printer needs access to the internet but I was sick of
seeing the error msg.
This is the page to the fix from Norton.

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/a1171f66440d932988256fb00082d2d6/3ebb701bd3f0215a88256ce70064910f?OpenDocument&prod=Norton%20Internet%20Security&ver=2005%20AntiSpyware%20Edition&src=csm&pcode=nis&svy=&csm=no

It has been working perfectly since I followed these instructions.
Have a great day, Jim
