i'd disable one of them... two firewalls in the same Pc is a bit useless.. make tests to know which one.

so it's probably an adsl router. They use to have a built-in firewall. You may need to open the needed ports there or enable UPnP

i dont know what UPnP is
Universal Plug'n'Play
Applications can use UPnP to "talk" directly to the router/firewall so they can configure it to open the needed ports and do NAT correctly (Network Address Translation). If your router has that option you may want to enable it (n some cases it may be a security risk, but I don't think it's a very high risk. I have it enabled without problems for a lot of time and now with th firewall of XPSP2 the risk decreases (and even more in your case, having another fw)

This is what norton tells me:

Intrusion: Invalid Destination IP Address
Intruder: SMALLPC(192.168.0.200)
Risk Level: Low
Source IP address: SMALLPC(192.168.0.200)
Destination IP address: 0.1.0.4. This IP address is invalid.
Protocol: TCP.
well, does norton prompt you to always show that, or does it give you the option to remember your answer or similar? Maybe you should check the configuration of norton firewall.
