Hey guys I've read the -read me first- stickies and I couldn't connect at first, but I replaced the gnutella.net file and viola, it worked!! and now I can connect but I still have a firewall icon next to my connection which is green. I can still download files and everything, but I was just wondering if I shouldn't have a firewall icon or if that's normal. The reason why I'm asking is because my laptop that runs windows XP has limewire-pro and gets blue bars with a turbo-charge connection and has no firewall icons. Is the fact that it's limewire-pro the reason why it gets the turbo-charge connection, or is it the firewall holding back my speed?

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here:
http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
It said "Your test worked!"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
I'm sharing the connection with a laptop (running windows XP) connected wirelessly. Other than that, I run Limewire by itself.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
First time user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
Oh Yeah 0_0 . I can still download!! although I'm concern if this brick wall is holding my connection back from getting a "turbo-charge" or if that's just a lime-wire pro feature. Also I must add that even though I see a brick wall , my downloads are pretty quick.
Thanks :]
