I did everything in port forwarding, and I allowed norton to let it through, windows firewall can't be activated with norton so.

If everything else is properly configured, in most every reported case where a Norton 'product' is involved, it was Norton to blame for a false level of security that was next to impossible to configure in a decent way.
I'm sorry, but the only reasonable advice I can provide is to get a customer friendly, good security software (read, not a Norton product).
