hi, i have had limewire for years and it has worked fine, but ever since iv updated it to 4.12.4 it wont connect, i purchased limewire pro after because i though it would work an i still have the same problem, it has not been connecting for around a week now and its annoying me, i have a wall in front of the world but i dont think i have a firewall. it does connect but only gets to a fair connection which is 3 bars then diconnects again, also my little limewire icon is grey not green and yellow which is unusual but i think thats just where it doesnt connect, i have tryed everything including deleting the preference foler and that and it still doesnt work. i have windows 98, could someone please help me and find something that works please! cheers

From the bug report:
" Received incoming this session: false "
That means LW detects a firewall. What security programs do you have installed on your computer?? It can't be from your modem, since it is an onboard modem (if I remember correctly; and I think they don't have built-in firewalls).

i dnt have any programs with a firewall, well not that i know of anyway,does winzip have a firewall?

Winzip doesn't have a firewall; it is a program to compress/decompress files.
I 've gone through your bug report once more; the listening port is 2661 and not 48821 as you said in your post.
Possible programs with firewall are McAfee, Norton, AOL, to name a view.
Here is an example of my bug report:

Do you have any of those programs mentioned above on your computer?
The firewall problem must originate from somewhere...
