Default Firewall issue (can't connect with Vista)

Hey i'm new here so excuse my ignorance if i miss something. I have windows vista and a high speed cable connection. I run norton internet security 2008. I have recently run into a problem that i've never had with limewire in the 3 some years ive been using it. It has not been able to connect me at all. I notice that it is saying that it has detected a firewall, but even after i turn off both windows and norton firewall, it is still there. Im not sure why I cannot connect but i can only guess something is preventing it from doing so. Any ideas or if u need more info please ask i'll let ya know anything u want i just wanna fix this so I can get back to downloading. thanks

Try giving these fixes a go and see if they help....

If no luck you could try port forwarding through your Norton Security...
(these instructions should be the same for 2008)

Port Forwarding for the Norton Internet Security 2007
