HELP!!

I have bought limewire and downloaded the latest beta offered on these forums!

I have deleted the preferences folder, i think i have sorted out the GNUTELLA problems, i have got rid off auto connect and all the tips but whenever i load up limewire i only ever get one green bar that says it is connecting!!

i am using windows xp and am connected to a wireless network.

My limewire also says that it has detected a firewall!

has anyone got any helpful answers

thanku

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)

What brand & model of connection devices do you use (modem/router)?
