Are you using XP and / or SP2?

Do you have the built in Windows firewall enabled? 2 x Firewalls
active at the same time can cause havoc, disable the windows version.

Have you downloaded all the updates for NIS 2003 there is a lot?

Are you sure its Norton Firewall? Disable it and see if you get access
for your games with it switched off, (obviously don't leave it off
just prove its Norton) 8-)
