Hello guys, I'm new but like everyone else I'm experiencing problems getting any connection with the new version of Limewire that I just paid for.


OK - heres my specs.....

7. Where are you trying to connect from - Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.18.8 PRO
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Verizon FIOS
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 Works"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? YES

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Symantec Antivirus 8.1.0.82516. What country are you living in? USA

HELP!!!!! It worked a few months ago with just the basic version. I payed for a whole year subscription and now I get the "Firewall Detected" and I've disabled the Windows Firewall and I even disabled the Symantec Antivirus software and still the LW will not connect!

All help is appreciated!
