Re: How do I open port 1527 in Norton360PE?

Hi, Jeeper752; welcome to our community!

First, please make sure you have the most current version of Norton, by visiting the Norton Update Center:

http://updatecenter.norton.com/

Once you're sure your software is current (and have rebooted following your upgrade, if it was not), try the following steps:

1. Open your Norton 360 main screen
2. Click Settings
3. Click Firewall
4. Click the Traffic Rules tab
5. Click Add
6. Leave Allow selected, and click Next
7. Select Connections from other computers and click Next
8. Select Any computer in the local subnet and click Next
9. From the drop-down list, select the protocol(s) you need to use; if you don't know, try TCP and UDP
10. On this same screen, select for the rule to apply only if it matches all of the ports listed below; click Add; select Individually specified ports; type 1527 in the box; click OK; click Next
11. If you'd like to track when these connections are made, check the top box, to Create a Security History log entry; click Next
12. Give your new rule a descriptive name, e.g., "Apache-Derby Server Rule"; click Next
13. Review the settings you have chosen, and if you're satisfied, click Finish

Note that I have made a few assumptions as I composed these steps--starting with assuming, based on your description of this as a Java application, that there isn't a Windows program (.exe) for you to attach this rule to; if there is an Apache server executable in a folder somewhere on your machine, then I'd suggest you try to set this up as a Program Rule specific to it, rather than a general Traffic Rule as specified above, for security reasons. However, since it soulds like you're only using this for client machines on your local subnet--maybe even on the same machine--this shouldn't make much difference.

Let me know if this works for you; if not, there are a few more places where I made an assumprion that may or may not hold for you, and we'll try tweaking those.

V/R,
