If it's norton internet security, just open the usual interface (double-click on the taskbar icon or whatever)... select Status & Settings > Personal Firewall ... hit the 'Configure' button .. go into 'Programs' and scroll down the list of programs until you find your game... select and remove the rule, or just set it to allow or automatic... you should be in the right ballpark there anyway.
