I am having trouble with my firewall. I have 2 firewalls, my Windows is disabled and my Norton Antivirus is enable. I can't figure out how to configure it for LW. My OS is XP. Any help would be much appreciated.

The link below should help.

No, I don't have those options that are listed on that site. Even when I disable Norton, LW says that I still have a firewall up.

double click on the NPF icon on your desktop, or right click on the globe in your taskbar and choose NPF...then hilight 'Personal Firewall' and choose configure...then choose Program Control...in that screen untick the box that says 'turn on automatic program control' (this is for security reasons...when anything tries to access the net for the first time, NPF will stop it and ask you what to do about it...this allows you to determine just what it is that you want online...as an example, I NEVER allow any media players to do anything online...period...etc)...after unticking that box, have a looksy at the list of programs that are already internet enabled...delete any that refer to LW, and maybe any that you feel 'funny' about..OK...now close up the NPF gui, and start LW...you should get 2 queries about LW, and JAVA...of course allow those online, and choose always...

I think if found the problem. My Router has a firewall. I just don't know what to enter into these fields.

Under source and destination of Interface I have the options of LAN and WAN. Under protocol I have the options of TCP, UDP, and ICMP.

Huh? thats pretty much whats up with me 2...
i have a 100 mb connection, no one knows how fast it should go? mine goes fastest 32 kbps, and my firewall icon is some times there and some times not as well.

I no longer have the brickwall.The problem seems to lie with the antivirus firewall. Many PCs are sold together with an antivirus software ready for installation (Norton; McAfee , generally)
Even if the new buyer doesn't install the ready-for-use antivirus in order to install another one , the Norton antivirus, for instance, is still there. To get rid of it you have to install it first and then disable it.
I found this out lately when I installed an upgraded version of Trend Micro PC-cillin : although I had never installed the Norton version on my computer it stopped the installation of PC-Cillin. Trend Micro warned I had to install Norton first and re-install PC-Cillin. When it comes to the stage when Norton stops the installation, the trend Micro antivirus takes over and removes all the Norton elements that could be in the way. Then you disable the firewall of your antivirus.
If you settings for LW are correct, if you have enabled your router and Windows security center to let through LW, the brickwall does not appear in front of the globe any more.

Im almost possitive right now that its my internet company though. but thank you any way.

Is it really necessary to do all that stuff? It seems terribly complicated with the likeliehood of fouling something up. I have the firewall problem as above and can't decide why but I am not a complete techie and don't trust anything! Is there an easier way?
