Re: Connection problems

starpower

I share my internet connection with my Xbox 360 via a wire connected to my xbox and my laptop. After downloading sophos Anti-Virus my xbox no longer has an internet connection. Is there any way to fix this or maybe turn sophos off while I'm using xbox? Help?!

    Hi there,

    I can't think of a specific reason why Sophos Anti-Virus should be getting in the way of internet connection sharing with the Xbox. Did you also install the Sophos Firewall as well? If so then you may need to create a specific rule to allow the connection through.

    If there is no firewall installed you could temporarily try disabling the on-access scanning within Sophos Anti-Virus (Configure|Anti-Virus|On-Access scanning) to confirm if this is getting in the way.

    Did you install the firewall? If that is the case, you will need to define the appropriate exceptions.

    The package consists of the Antivirus, the Firewall, port-control and some other pieces. The firewall is quite capable, but it's configuration is not as easy as that of the internal firewall of Windows XP. If you don't want to spend the time to do this, you might be better off with the Windows XP-firewall.

    Best regards,
