I wrote a little script that scrapes a very simple html page and although it works on my local machine when I run it on my webserver i get this error "msxml3.dll error '800c0005'". I found out why it seems my Norton firewall is stopping the access to the page what port do you suggest I should open for this to work. Cheers and many thanks
well everything else seems to work fine, except the xml scrape thing. I tested this by disabling the firewall for a few secs to check and the page worked fine. As soon as I enabled it the error came up again. Blasted Norton always gets in the way ... Doh Ta for replying though snaayk hopefully someone else had the same problem as this.
I found the problem (in case anyone else needs the solution) To get this working you have to allow dllhost.exe access to the net. The problem here is are there serious dangers in doing so? Does this leave the server wide open to attacks etc
