Default Connection problems with Norton 360

Since last week I cannot connect with LW. In the past I used Norton Internet Security 2006 and had no problems connecting. Last week I upgraded to Norton 360. Then the problem started. I tried the solutions as proposed (configuration of firewall in Norton 360, even created an exception for the listening port), but still can not connect. Even when I shut down my firewall of Norton 360, I don't get connected: Limewire mentions that a firewall is detected. PS: my Windows XP was and is still shut down. Anyone has the same problem with Norton 360 and also a solution?
Many thanks.

Reconfiguring Norton Firewall
If updating LW or Norton, you need to re-do the configuration for LW.

Thanks for the quick reply. I re-did the configuration of the firewall in Norton 360 after installing it last week. So LW is in the list with programs which have always access to the internet, but LW still gives the message that it is behind a firewall. I had a look in the faq and change the listingport to port 35000 but still no change. By the way I tried the testlink to and this is working. Is there anyone using Norton Security 360 and has no problems. What are your settings?
