Hello again, I uninstalled Java, uninstalled Limewire PRO 4.18.8, did the offline download of the Java you recommended installed it, rebooted, re-installed Limewire Pro 4.18.8 and all is good on the desktop it got rid of the Firewall problem. I tried all the same processes on the Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop: New Just installed 250GB Fresh install of XP PRO, 3.40GHZ, 2GB 9700 Radeon video w/ 256MB Memory, only software Anti-virus software is Avast Home ED 2010 same as Desktop. But it still has the claim of behind a firewall despite the fact there's no firewall on Router, and Win XP Pro's Firewall is turned off.
