Is there any way to create a new traffic rule in Smart Firewall to permit restoration of the ability to connect to a wireless display (Miracast)? If so, how should it be configured?
@Justhe There are other posts regarding this issue around the forums, I don’t believe there has been a solution thus far. Here is AI generated suggestions for you to review. Note - AI is not necessarily 100% accurate so your results may vary based on your hardware.
AI Overview
To enable Miracast screen mirroring, Norton firewall might need to be configured to allow specific ports and protocols. Specifically, you’ll need to allow traffic on UDP ports 67 and 68, and potentially TCP port 7236. Additionally, consider allowing ICMPv6 traffic with type 143 and code 0.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
- Identify the problem: If Miracast is not working and you suspect Norton firewall is blocking it, verify that the necessary ports and protocols are allowed in the Norton firewall settings.
- Navigate to firewall settings: Open Norton and navigate to the firewall settings (usually under “Network Settings” or “Firewall”).
- Create or modify firewall rules: Create new rules or modify existing ones to allow the following:
- UDP 67 and 68: Allow inbound and outbound traffic on these ports.
- TCP 7236: Allow inbound and outbound traffic on this port.
- ICMPv6 (Type 143, Code 0): Allow inbound and outbound traffic on this protocol and type/code.
- Apply changes: Save the new rules and apply the changes to Norton.
- Test: Try Miracast again to see if the connection is successful.
Troubleshooting:
- Disable Norton temporarily: If the problem persists, try disabling Norton temporarily to rule out any other Norton-related issues.
- Examine logs: If the firewall is blocking specific connections, check the firewall logs for details on which connections are being blocked.
- Consult Norton support: If you continue to have issues, consult Norton support for assistance.
