Firstly, you should not have both firewalls turned on. It is known Norton firewall clashes with Windows firewall resulting in 'less' security, not more, and also other side effects.

Check the suggestions here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html as usually one or a combination of these suggestions will work.
