I just recently purchased Limewire becaue the courts have finaly caught up to Grokster which I was dedicated to for the past five years and never had a single problem with. As I said I PURCHASED Limewire the Pro version and now I can't get passed this Firewall issue that I see many others using this app are going through. The following will describe the troublshooting procedures and the makeup of my computer:

- I am using WinXP SP2 with Norton Internet Security. I am also using a router, WR850G by Motorola, which is only used for two computers including my own in my house.

- I have disabled the Windows version of firewall protection, disabled the router firewall protection, and have Norton Personal Firewall enabled. I gave the Limewire app a "Permit All" status for my firewall as well as all the "javaw.exe" files I can find on my computer. Limewire suggest that I go ahead permit and permit that, but never gave a specific destination on my comp where I can find THEE javaw.exe file that should be given the Permit All status.

- I disabled Norton Protection all together and still no joy.

- On my router I enabled the UpNp option.

- I have updated the firmware for my WR850G router by Motorola

- I have deleted the limewire file on my computer which will reset the settings to the Limewire app. I have also uninstalled limewire and reinstalled it.

- I have even attempted to plug my computer up directly to the cable modem without the router being the middle man.

In closing it appears that I have tried everything. I don't know what else can be done. Can SOMEONE PLEASE help me out with this issue. This is very disturbing to me now that I've spent eighteen dollars to get a masters degree in Limewire troublshooting.
