    I've installed Norton Safety Minder to protect my brother from the harmful web, and uninstalling isn't an option at the moment. Norton Safety Minder disallows running of a server, because the error when I connect to the server is: permissions denied: connect
    Also, the minecraft client cannot read the news, it says
    <html><body><font color="#808080"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><center>Failed to update news<br>java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect</center></font></body></html>
    The culprit is definitely the program, since information is clear on Google searches and such.

    How do I unblock connection to MY OWN SERVER!?

    I wouldint personnally use Norton Safety minder, mainly for that reason above. You would have to allow acceptions to the list but you would need to know all ports, urls and applications and add them to the exception list of safety minder

    I have you tried looking at something like kapersky as a alternative ?

    Maybe Kapersky, but could you list all the ports, urls, and applications?

    I will try allowing minecraft.net first.

    I still haven't been able to allow minecraft.net yet, (no time), but what else can I do.

    Just allowing minecraft.net didn't work. Going to try to allow programs (if possible) in Norton Safety Minder...

    Uninstall Norton.

    It is trash antivirus software anyway.

    I just need to GOOD INTERNET SAFETY PROGRAM that will block pornography, etc.. I don't new a new antivirus program.
    What good internet protection should I get to replace Norton Security Minder? OR, what websites do I need to allow to be able to connect fully to servers? Allowing minecraft.net didn't help.

    Nothing? I need desperate help.

    get rid of norton has it's more useless than useful. I suggest getting Zonealarm for a firewall.
    For sites and what not, not much help there as any third grader can find ways around the blocks.

    Some routers come with a content filter built into them, have you tried looking at the settigns of your router to see if there is a option for content filtering

    Normally thats a better way as it looks at the website and responds back from a blacklist provided by a server then outright blocking everything

    Norton is complete crap. You need something like no-ip or DynDns, which can block websites.
