Issue abstract:
Norton 360 has just started to block connections to an X-windows game I play. The name of the game is ‘xpilot’, and I run a local xpilot server on my home machine, so all I have to do is connect to ‘localhost’ or ‘127.0.0.1’. It used to show the latter as a possible server location, but now that doesn’t appear in the list of servers and trying to connect to ‘localhost’ always times out.
