Netscape 7.0 blocked by firewall

I installed Netscape 7.0 from a CD this morning, and it worked, with the
exception of giving me my email. I tried to access this afternoon, and I
got a message that the connection was refused by my ISP. On a hunch, I
disabled my Firewall ( Norton 2001, version 2.5)) and it works like a
charm. I went to the options/advanced section in Norton, and did not see
anything that resembles the 7.0. I was attempting to add 7.0.
In short, I guess I don't know exactly how to fix it, or add the
Netscape 7.0 as an allowed accessor. I don't think I got a message from
Firewall asking if I wanted to allow the connection when I installed
Netscape.
Not sure if I should uninstall from Add/Remove in settings, and reinstall, or what.
Appreciate any help you can give.

I am using 4.79 for this message which still works as it always has.

Hi dencor,

What we have here, is a Norton application problem, rather than a Netscape problem. I looked at the Symantic site and found this KB article, which may or may not help:

How to add a firewall rule to Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall 1.0, 2.0, and 2.5
