Can not connect / 1 bar thing Hello. OK, I have used limewire for years with not to many problems. Recently I had to reload my operating system (windows XP). Now I get the 1 bar thingy and there is a firewall icon on the globe picture. This used to be ok but while trying to trace the problem I have turned off the firewall from windows, removed the anti virus program, removed the wireless router from the system, and I am basically running a wide open computer thru the Motorola cable modem and that’s it.
