PLEASE!!!!!

Have you looked around this forum yet before posting? See Forum Rules (Click on link) Provide us all your details: Where are you connecting from: homw, school, work, etc.? What connection devices do you have: modem & router brand name & model numbers? What operating system do you use (eg: windows 98)? What firewalls do you have?

I have Windows XP and am using DSL, i am pretty sure i've disabled the firewall XP has on it, but could be wrong, the following comes up when i try connecting

"Your machine does not appear to have an active Internet Connection or a firewall is blocking LimeWire from accessing the internet. Please check your connection of firewall settings and then select "Connect" from the File menu to connect LimeWire to the network."
