(a) With Norton, you always need to re-add LW firewall rule (delete previous rule) when updating either LW or norton.
(b) With the WRT54G, they are a "lemon" in the respect their firmware has bugs and Linksys never repaired them all. It is best run in Port Forward. I would recommend you port forward it for this computer.
Most important step is step 1:
Static ip for XP ______ 2. Find your model here
PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall and find LW on next link and follow instructions.
(c) Cox have been known to be not especially p2p friendly, and have been known to block certain users using p2p programs.
(d) Make sure you use a different connection port from any other LW being used on the LAN network.
