Hi,

I have a Delphi service and a Delphi application connecting to a
firebird database located on the same machine.

When running with Windows firewall or without firewall, there is no
problems, but I run with Norton firewall, it will ask me the first
time I start up my (normal)application and my service if I want to
allow this. If I click "always", my application will work fine, but
the service won't connect to my firebird database.

I do the connection with: localhost:c:\data\database.gdb

As I mentioned it will work fine without Norton running, and I have
tried everything within Norton (that I can think of) to disable the
blocking of my service connection to Firebird.

The service runs as system (no interaction with desktop)

Does anyone have any suggestions to how to be able to run my service
with Norton firewall running also?

Regards,
Kim Friis
