when i try to connect a message says that my firewall is blocking access to the internet..or loopback connections on a local machine...ive turned off my firewall(mcafee) but the problem still popped up, so i'm thinking there are problems with my loopback connections...any idea on how to fix this problem?

thanks

Yeah I have the exact same problem. I get the same message and I use McAfee as well. When I checked my firewall it said LimeWire was allowed full access to the internet. Also whenever I get that message, it usually only comes up if I haven't been on my computer for a few hours.

I use McAfee and Ive just posted a thread saying I have the same problem. What the hell do I do?????? Im missing my downloads. I only discovered limewire a few days ago and now I cant access it and I dont know why!!!! Help!!!
