I had the old pro version of limewire purchased about 2 yr ago. 4 mths ago had troubles connecting. so in my infinite wisdom i decided to redown-load the basic. never worked at all after that...let it sit for a month or 2 and today i re downloaded again (basic free)..

install correct, all ready to go except i got the message that " no internet connection" and " a firewall is blocking acsess"
details: have the same set up as when lime wire worked for me, no new hard ware.
- explora ga32 computer
- netgear router 4 channels (cheap but works fine)
- motorola surboard modem sb4101
- charter internet service 5mb speed
- windows xp

details on me- if you post a reply and can help (please) put it in laymens terms im not that computer smart but not DUMB. thank you to anyone that can help
