If you're using windows XP then ensure you have disabled XP's firewall. Then for Norton check this Configuring Norton Internet Security

Ensure your modem/router has UPnP enabled. Check the UPnP section on this page Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)
What brand & model of modem/router do you have?

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

XPs firewall is off and Im pretty sure that Ive got Norton configured correctly. When I use the test link I get "this page cannot be displayed. BTW I dont have a router but I do have a Linksys BEFCMU10 v2 cable modem if that helps any. I dont know what just happened but I did the delete trick again about 20 min ago and got a firewall again. Its been running minimized since then and I just checked it and There is no firewall and Ive got "a very strong connection". I really wish I knew what just happened so I can do it again If I ever have this Problem again. Any suggestions to keep this problem from happening again?
