Default Need help connecting...

Ok, I know you guys here this all the time, but I'm having trouble connecting with Lime Wire and am very frustrated.

I am running Windows XP with COX as my ISP. I just downloaded LW version 4.14.10
When I open LW, there is a "Lime Wire Has Detected a Firewall" icon at the bottom of the window. I have Norton Internet Security and I spent countless hours w their tech support trying to figure out why I couldn't connect. Finally they showed me how to manually go into Program Control and "allow" the LW application.

After this, LW WORKED!! YAY!! And I was able to download. Then a week or so later when I logged into my LW again and had made NO changes, I'm back to the same old problem again. When I try a search, no results appear. I double checked my Norton and it still has the program set to "Allow".

I read through several of the FAQ links recommended and gained some general info but no specific help. There was one forum link on a step by step process to bypass ISP blocking but I think it was written for an older version of LW and I couldn't figure it out.

Can anyone please give me some steps to try and fix this? I'd really appreciate it! I'm not computer ignorant, but I'm also not savvy, so details are great.

Thanks!
