If you have it on your desktop and it works there, then try comparing the settings in Limewire to see if there is any difference in how it's set up
Could you also tell us what the settings are for your firewall configuration ? It's under Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config Both for your desktop and the one that you have problems with |
