Im having the whole firewall detected issue meanwhile i do NOT have a firewall.

I upgraded to the newer limewire last night... connected for a little and then went back to firewall detected mode.

I just recently got off the phone with a optimum online rep and he assured me they are not blocking ports... he is trying to convince me that its a limewire problem.
He said to try to reinstall lime wire... going to try that now,i let you guys know how that goes.
