Firewall Logs....Network (::0)

[ Edited ]

I have 360v3 running on my 3 pc's ... one on windows 7 , one on Vista Home Premium , and one on XP .

The log on the Windows 7 pc shows  " Connected to a Protected Network. (::0) " as well as the usual one for my router etc , the logs on the Vista and XP do not show this network (::0) .

 

Can anyone suggest what this network may be ,  i have searched internet but can't find anything about this .

All 3 logs show the same apart from this "other netwok " on the Windows 7 pc .

I have scanned with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware and nothing is ever found apart from the usual cookies  .

 

Thanks

Hi Proz,

 

Not sure how only one computer shows a new network. A network is in the Protected Trust Level when it has not been classified as Trusted, Shared, or Restricted. You remain protected from known attacks and all unexpected traffic from this particular network. So, there is no need to worry about protection for your computer. If you could provide the information on this network such as MAC address or IP Address from Security History, it would be more helpful.

Re: Firewall Logs....Network (::0)

Thanks for the screenshot, Proz.

 

Can you check the version of Norton 360 shown in Help & Support > About?

 

lt may be 3.5.2.10 which Symantec released 2-3 days before. This was an update patch released only for a particular set of users, and as some users experienced certain problems with it, Symantec had removed that patch/update. I think, only one of your computers received this update and that is why it is shown only on one computer. There is a new feature in the Firewall settings for this 3.5 version - Learn Automatic IPv6 NAT Traversal Taffic. If you have that, you may see the entry for "Teredo  Tunnelling Pseudo Interface" in security history, and the protected network entry is shown as a result of this.

Hi

The Windows 7 pc is version 3.5.2.10

The Vista Premium is Version 3.5.2.10 also

The XP is version 3.0.0.135

 

I will have a look for the " learn IPv6 "

 

Thanks

Re: Firewall Logs....Network (::0)

The Windows 7 pc has " Learn IPv6 " on ... the other 2 pc's dont , ie its turned off .

So is it better to have "Learn IPv6 " on or off .

Sorry for the noobish questions .

It is not likely yet that you need IPv6.  That will be seen more and more as time goes on.  You could safely turn it off.

Re: Firewall Logs....Network (::0)

Win7 uses IPv6 by default in all the compatable software.  MS is trying to get the standard in use since it will help with the impending addressing challenges coming up.

 

::0 is the IPv6 address for your system.  Same as 127.0.0.1 is in IPv4.
