Your modem doesn't have a built in NAT firewall so you can rule that out...
Since you are running Nortons firewall you should disable the windows one altogether, it's not wise to run 2 at the same time...
I would ring your ISP and ask them about being blocked from Limewire...
Also ask them what plan you are on and what allowance you have each month....:rolleyes_2:

does turning off windows count? Im not sure how to disable it

Go to the control panel, double click on Windows Firewall, check the disable box. But it does depend on your setup. There's another method mentioned here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...620#post178620
You should not run 2 software firewalls at the same time. All softw firewall companies give that advice. It leads to less security not more & can cause other side effects.

ok ill try it, so just turning it off isnt the same as disabling it, correct?

ok i tried to disable, but i dont see the disabled box anywhere

I don't run XP so I can't tell you exactly where the disable box is. But Norton & XP's firewalls should NEVER be run together. They are reknown to clash with each other. Turning it off/disabling it .... I'd have thought the same thing but I'm not a XP user so not sure. Did you check the other method mentioned about disabling XP's firewall.

When updating LW sometimes Norton gets confused, so ... Reconfiguring Norton Firewall

yes that the only option i have, and thats to turn it off

Yep turn it off, because you are protected by Nortons firewall...

i did and theres still a firewall, and im almost positive its not my isp, because i just told my friend to try it and it worked

Well jimbo-ice I'm totally out of ideas as to why this is happening to you, hopefully another forum member can pick up something I've missed...I still think you need to give your ISP a call...:confused:
