Norton 360 Firewall log viewer

I've just upgraded from NIS 2008, to Norton 360 version 2.0.

 

My pc with Norton 360 is running XP Pro.

 

NIS 2008 had a log viewer, where you could view firewall events. Eg, if my filesharing was not working, I could look in the firewall log to see if the firewall blocked the traffic. 

 

After upgrading to Norton 360, I cannot find the firewall log or any norton log viewer at all.

 

Anybody help? Surely symantec would not have removed such a feature? Their marketing surely does not highlight removed features.

Glad you found the answer anyway.

 

Sometimes there is a backlog after the weekend -- I've certainly seen plenty of messages from Norton Staffers. Compared with other places this place is Paradise <g>

There are mor Symantec employees here than support staff in other security forum.

But sometimes and it better if you find out yourself

I agree with everything you say.

 

But it can be frustrating ... patience is a necessary virtue in using and in troubleshooting computers <s>

Where did you find it?  Its deffinately not obvious and the help has no entry for "log" under the index tab.

You can't find it because it's not there, I don't what the OP was referring to, anyway..

[ Edited ]
He's probably referring to the "Only log event after it occurs X times" the program mentions or maybe its the "Control when to begin logging the network communication that matches this rule." The help does mention about the option.  Kind of makes it sounds like its supposed to be logging somewhere.  Especially when I set up a Monitor only firewall rule.  If its monitoring it then where is it logging the info?

Probably the log files in C:Program Files:Norton 360:Logs, I'm not 100% sure.
