As if you haven't heard this before.
 

Yeah, another connection problem. Whenever I run Limewire, I try to connect. Half the time I click the connect button, nothing even happens. When It does try to connect, it goes up on the first notch of the little green bar thing then disconnects again. I have tried to methods in the two stickied threads, and nothing happened. I suspect it's probably my (@*$ firewall, but there's one problem. I can't access it. -_-

Anyway I might be able to change the settings or be able to connect without accessing my firewall? Yeah, I know. Dumb question. :-/

EDIT: Oh, yeah. I use Windows 2000 professional and IE. I have a Norton firewall.

EDIT AGAIN: Yeah, I have a Cable Modem. I don't know what my provider is.

Do a search on the forum for either norton or firewall. I've seen it mentioned before about how to overcome Norton firewall issues. I'm not a windows person so I won't attempt to solve this issue (sorry I'm a mac person.) If you're lucky an experienced pc person will see this post.

Yeah, I've seen a thread about it already. XD

Well, the truth is, everyone in my family has their own desktop, but only my Mom and Dad are true admins, therefore making them the only ones who can access the firewall. =/ I'm pretty sure that's the problem though.

Of course, there is my router. Is there any possibility that that is causing a problem, too?
