Welcome to the society of unhappy limewire users! I've got the same troubles...and have yet to have this fixed. I've got both zone alarm, avg virus/control center and norton set up to allow limewire through... And I've followed all the instructions the techies here have posted. Nothing. I've got the same Vista edition and even have windows firewall of as well since I got Norton and ZA.

Maybe there's something microsoft has put into their most recent updates that has blocked our connection?? I wonder if Mac's have been having the same trouble??
