Norton is on the list of programs that may interfere with Steam:

I would try to create an exception/rule for Steam.

Teknohead Feb 5, 2015 @ 8:05pm

may is a strong exception... been using norton 360 and various for many years never had to disable or exception rule once

Love steam i will still not turn of my virus or firewall. But hey in 10 years never needed to.

Says its already allowed

I would argue if you have never had to add a rule or exception, Norton isn't doing its job. You would either have to not have any traffic coming and going through the computer, or Norton is allowing all traffic to come and go through the computer, at which point the firewall is essentially a moot point.

Then I think we can assume it's not the firewall. It could be the antivirus, or another program on your computer. Did you check the list on the page I linked?

If you realize you have something else to add, you can hover your mouse over your post and click the pencil icon to edit in the new details. You don't have to make a new post every time.
