Streaming Audio blocked by Symantec

Proper operation of the Airport Express requires that you configure any network firewall so that it does NOT block ports 192, 5009, and 5353.

Maybe this should be a separate thread, but seemed similar.

I have AE set up to join my network and am able to stream audio to it just fine UNTIL I launch the software that uses VPN into my company network. Then audio stops. Once I logout and release the VPN software, I am hit start on iTunes and it works again.

Is there a workaround to this? I also notice I can't send to my wireless print server while on VPN either??

I won't be of much more help with your problem - since I'm not sure exactly what criteria "Symantec Internet Worm Protection" uses to block network applications. My suggestion would be the obvious one - get rid of this software, since it seems to be more trouble than it is worth.

you have a couple of problems

1, windows machines have too many back ground applications running especialy xp which is the cause for so many ppl having computers crahing and never starting up again, thats why i brought a mac,

2, wpa wep ...... clashes slightly with windows

3, the biggy, only add security to the router

not to the AE's otherwish they can fight each other

imagianne the Airport exprees being like another computer, if you add encryption to it it can lock out, now if you add the security to the router, the ae will have to ask the router to access,

now, being that the AE is realy a form for extending your network.

you ask the AE to ask the router to open up for your pc, ie pcA

now pcB will also need to ask the AE if it can see the router and if pcB gives it the correct password it unlocks the gate for that 1 too

like i say the AE is a network expansion system, if you add security to the router it then become an open close gateway.

the apple store do a wonderfull book which will tell you every thing you need to know about internet and all this kind of stuff, it does regulate around apple products and does suguest some of its own but: the general idea is still the same

Dave:

When you are connected to a remote network via a VPN connection, your computer is from a functional point of view a part of that remote network and not your own. Therefore, services on your local network simply "don't exist". Some VPN client software has a setting that allows you to continue to use local network services - check the web site of the manufacturer for you VPN client software for tech support.

you dont need to other with any of that rubish with a mac, i dont, the mac protects itselfand it doesnt confuse with diferant logins, modems and all that other rubish
