Cool Norton Firewall Disconnects

I'm fairly new to this but believe I have everything set correctly but can't figure out why Norton Personal Firewall keeps disconnecting.

I set up LW in Norton Firewall customized as follows:

Permit Internet Access
Connection to and from other computers
Allow any computers to connect
Protocols: TCP and UDP
Permit port 6348 ( have tried different ports)
and yes I have changed the port settings in LW too

When LW first starts to connect, it shows the block wall in front of the globe indicating the firewall is set
but as soon as LW connects the brick wall disappears

I thought maybe it had something to do with my wireless router but it is UPnP
and I loaded LW on my laptop and set up rules in Norton and it seems to work fine.
I went to check the settings for Norton on the laptop to compare but, believe it or not, LW isn't even listed under internet controls. Strange huh? I don't believe I set the rules any differently on the laptop.

Anyway, I'm at a loss.
Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be???

Thanks
