thanks

are you using a router if so this will contain a firewall which has to be configured to allow Limewire access -- also ensure that you have one firewall software program running on your computer and not two as this will reduce your security and cause other problems. Some antivirus suites contain a firewall as well as a antivirus program.(nortons, McAfee, Panda) if you do have 2 -- disable your XP/Vista firewall -- have you tried this yet --- In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if still no good click on (system details) fill in and post back here
