The firewall is in your modem router and, at a guess, your port forward configuration has not worked (I am presuming that you have configured your Norton firewall correctly).

Now, I have a Norton firewall, which is configured correctly, and a modem router which is much more difficult to configure but not impossible once you have the right information.

Now TM you have to tell us the make and model of your modem router because without that no one can give you the correct port forwarding information you need to make LW work.
