    The Symantec  Liveupdate servers have  differnet ips. The company will not share that with you,

    You can do s simple test, ping  any of these sites

    http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com

    http://symantec.com

    http://liveupdate.symantec.com

     

    After every 5 mins it may happen that they may reply with different ip.

    The Ip keeps on changing

    May I know the reason why you want the list of the Ip address?

    It would a better idea to create a rule to allow the following website

    http://liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com

    http://symantec.com

    http://liveupdate.symantec.com

    Say you have created a rule to allow X.X.X.X , Next time you run liveupdate, the request goes for y.y.y.y in that case the update would fail.

    SO it is better to create a rule with the name, not with IP.

    Hi Java-1,

    Have you see this?

    Can LiveUpdate be configured to use static IP addresses?
