I had Limewire a few months ago, but in a moment of stupidity I blocked my computer from filesharing. Ever since then I have not been able to get Limewire to connect. Recently, I made some changes in my firewall and network connections, but to no avail. I did exactly what the limewire help site says to do, but my limewire still displays the message that a firewall is blocking me. However about two days ago this message was not displayed anymore, BUT limewire will not connect it still says CONNECTING....I have upgraded to the newest version of limewire and everything, but limewire still says connecting and only one of the bars that shows connection is green. Please help me someone! I have Windows XP and Norton Internet Security! Thanks.

Please do not double-post around the forum. Please read Forum Rules (click here) This forum caters for many gnutella programs not just Limewire (LW.) So posting in the Shareaza section is most inappropriate. The LW sections are here: Limewire Forum sections The Lounge & Tips & tricks sections are general gnutella sections not intended for specific program questions ... though The Lounge is a general topic discussion area.

1. Norton & XP will interfere with each other. So disable XP's firewall: go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box
2. Configure your Norton as here: *Configuring Norton Internet Security
