Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

The answers:

Windows XP
Norton Internet Protection, including Firewall
RAM: ??
18,5 GB hard disk space
ADSL Broadband connection
E-tech USB modem
Router??
Number??

Lime Wire 4.8.1

I cant change anything in my firewall properties.

1. Disable your XP firewall. You'll find it in the control panels. (go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box)

2. Keep Norton FW active but configure it to allow LW full access; instructions: *Configuring Norton Internet Security

3. You forgot to do the port test above!

The test worked!

I cant change anything in my norton firewall. I cant just set is from default to home, but than i cant select anything in de screen below, the manual programm controll.

Is it possible that this happens because i have a demo version. It shouldnt because the demo should work as good as an original. I have to update norton with a subscription in septembre this year.

Pfff please help me again.

Hmm well this could b the issue! Get the full version, or get another FW, get a FREE one by googling it. I found these results from downld.com for FREE firewalls but know nothing about them. Or just use the XP firewall.

I think i have to do both, get the full version of Norton and than disable that firewall en use the one op XP (i can put it on and of in the connection file cant i?). Just using a new firewall without being able to disable the norton firewall seems not to have the right affect.

Correct?

I downloaded a new version of norton. Now ik says wile installing check connection (it open) and check proxyserver. Were can i see what my proxiserver is?

I am getting realy simple of all this.

Thanks for helping again
