I've been a Norton guy for a long time and (for lots of reasons not worth going into here), I'd prefer not to change. I have the exact same Norton setup on several machines and they all connect just fine. Moreover, while I didn't uninstall Norton, I did completely shut it down and I manually entered all of the settings that Sony support gave me (ports, IP addresses, website addresses, protocols, etc.) to allow the software to connect. Still, it wouldn't work (but 2.0 would...). Thus, I'm still not convinced that Norton is the culprit. After all, if it is specifically told to allow the precise connection and it is turned off, but the eBookLibrary software still can't connect...? Add to this the bizarre fact that if I run Fiddler, I can connect a little bit but without Fiddler I cannot connect at all, even though Fiddler isn't actually doing anything.
I downloaded 2.5 last night but didn't have time to install. That will be tonight's project. Of course all of this is actually moot in my case (I hope) because I just got a new laptop to replace the laptop that is having this problem.
