Hello. I've had a problem for several days of not being able to log on to some but not all websites. DSL line quality appears to be fine and unchanged from usual. After trying several fixes I thought it might be a NIS firewall problem but at the suggestion of Norton tech support after several fix attempts we un-installed NIS2011 from the computer and the problem still persists so inclined to exclude NIS 2011 as the culprit. In searching for a fix I noticed the following 2 messages in my NIS History with the IP address xxx.xxx.x.xx being (as I understand it) my modem/router network address between the modem and Realtek network adapter. I frequently receive notices of an excluded attack from my own computer by name @ the above Ip address xxx.xxx.x.xx.
Curious if anyone can tell me the significance of the following messages and if the "IP address has disappeared from adapter Realtek..." in the second message could be at the root of my connectivity problem with about 30% of the websites I try to visit or login to while others are just fine and how I might fix the somewhat minor problem of NIS 2011 seeing my own computer as a threat?
