Okay, I have read the millions of threads posted on norton. So far, the only one that has directly faced my issue is one that says to "click 'Permit' about 50 times" and finally got it to work. I do not have Norton Internet Security and I don't have the personal firewall either. I have XPs firewall off too (as even Microsoft has advised me to do for anything). LW does show the firewall icon at the bottom but I do not have a firewall and LW works perfectly, its just that I am constantly having to click 'Permit' or turning off the Internet Worm Protection off and I don't like to turn it off. Is there anything else I can do????
