Make sure the Windows firewall is off & just double check all your Norton settings, it might be worth your while to even reconfigure Norton from scratch.
Reconfiguring Norton Firewall

Check the thread below, see if the Windstream firewall mentioned there is part of the problem.

Ok i got the answer to your problem and your gunna be mad trust me, verizon denys it but the westell 6100 has a firewall built in. heres how to disable the annying thing well at least it says it dos but not full trust me it interfears with my gaming. call up verizon and tell get tech on the phone tell them you want to disable the westell 6100 built in firewall, you will get told thair isent one tell them BS and you want to disable it thairs a way to log into the modem via internet and disable the firewall thow it never fully disables. but like that you will be able to use limewire

i did notice someone has a qoute that i might use abut this modem to get it replaced with one that dont have the firewall. ( if its not broken, fix it till it is) i think ill use it with this modem somehow i want my gameing back

What??

Eagle9955,
We don't know what router J_money's using. They might not have a Westell 6100 & they sure don't use Verizon as their ISP

Yep, the Westell 6100 has a firewall...a Google search will tell you that!!
Rather than disabling the router firewall, you could try port forwarding. That should allow you to use LW without disabling the router firewall. The instructions are here if you need them.
