I had problems connecting and read the posts to help better inform me of what I may be doing wrong. Well, I am sadly admitting my stupidity to help others from the same embarassment the I personally just endured. When trying to enable Limewire through my firewall (SP2) I accidentaly went to the the windows firewall area instead of the internet connection sharing area. There I had added the port under the exceptions and then left it unchecked. Realizing that this was wrong, I went to the Internet connection area and input the information correctly without deleting my previous mistake. Which in return..kind of cancelled each other out. When I finally went back to the windows firewall area and deleted the extra ports my connection actually worked. I guess I was in a hurry and didn't take the time to read the verbage. I am only sharing this with all of you so you don't have to write in this forum and feel a cloud of stupidity over your head...and to also realize that you may have also made the same mistake and can now get connected.

Have fun sharing.... Ms. Embarassed!
