Hey Forum! First-time-poster, long-time-user here. Looks like I may have the opposite Firewall problem than most people are having.

Until recently, I was able to fully connect & share on the LW system WITH the Firewall icon appearing in front of the Globe icon in the bottom taskbar. I liked it this way since it didn't seem to affect performance & it was [hopefully] more secure.

This past week, however, as soon as I'm fully connected, the Firewall icon goes away. How do I get back to where I was before, with full connectivity & protection?



Here are my system details:

1. Windows XP [Fully updated as of 2/29/08]
2. Norton Internet Security 2005 [Fully updated 2/29/08]
3. 448 MB RAM
4. 127 GB HD space available
5. Cable Connection [Up to 8 Mbps]
6. Generic Modem supplied by ISP [Model #60678EU]
7. Apartment Complex
8. LW 4.16.6 Pro
9. Mediacom
10. 'Your Test Worked!'
11. No other computers or P2P programs
12. New problem with experienced user
13. NO Brickwall once TurboCharge-connected
14. UPnP enabled
15. See #2 [Norton is over-riding Windows SP2 Security]
16. US


Thanks!!!
