dzine, as a Mac user, I suggest you disable your firewall completely: Macs don't need them as much as PCs.
Now, where are you trying to connect from? Home? Work? School/university?
Launch LW and go to the preferences. Go to the Bug Reports section and click the button for an example. In the window that appears you'll find somewhere along the lines this written: "Recieved incoming this session". If it says false (if true, then you're ok, firewall-wise), then there's a firewall blocking LW, and since your OS X firewall either allows LW or is disabled, then it's because you are trying to connect from somewhere else than home and that they people who own the connection don't want P2P, so they bock it. No "legit" way around that.
If that still isn't your case (I mean that you can't connect but you are using a home connection) then it's possible that it's your ISP who is responsible for blocking P2P. You can try calling them to ask them what's the deal.

Mine says "False" but I feel like I've done everything I can to disable firewalls. I run Windows XP and also have Zone Alarm. Zone alarm is configured to allow connections from Limeware. Is there anything else that needs to be done? i also have Norton Anti-virus. Would this cause a problem in any way?

I haven't had any problems connecting before. It seems that it jsut happened all the sudden. I checked and I do have SP2 installed. hopefully with this information you can help me.

I really like this program and want to be able to use it again. Thanks!

See this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=29377 in reference to Norton.

Norton Anti-virus doesn't block anything (aside form virii of course) when it comes to connections. I'd like to ask where are you trying to connect from? (work, university, home...)

I was able to get connected last night and downloaded one song. I did that jar thing and unzipped the files in into the limeware folder, or whatever i read that someone else did earlier in the forum. However, today i could no longer connect. I downloaded limeware in July or August and just started having this problem in the past few weeks.

I am using my computer at home. I live in an apartment complex that provides internet access. I plug my ethernet cord into the wall and I'm connected.

Yo, Ginny. Did you do the "Recieved incoming..." ? If so, then what did it say?
Aside from that, have you tried deleting the prefs?

Mine said False, although I have the windows firewall disabled and Zone alarm is set to allow limeware.

I havetried deleting the preferences. Am I going to have to delete the preferences everytime?

i actually don't have the Pro version installed

Yo, Gin

Try disabling all firewalls just to see if it will connect.
