Firewall won't go away!!
 

ok-so I have windows xp-i also have the windows firewalls. i've done the standard port additions and i have enabled the limewire exceptions and UPnP and P2P. For a while I had all bars in connection and tried to download, but it was always "need more sources" or "busy connection" etc. And there is still a brickwall in front of my globe. And I have deleted the preferences folder. Is there still something I am missing?

You more than likely have a built in Nat firewall in your Modem/Router...
What make and model is your modem...:rolleyes_2:

ok, this sounds stupid, but i really dont know, i got my computer for free from school-how do i find out?

Where is your computer at home or at school....

at school-wireless network

Well because you are at school it's more than likely they have restricted all types of p2p apps....There is not alot you can do about it either....My only suggestion would be to talk to Admin and see if this is the case...;)

thats what i was afraid of-thank you!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...:(

Was reading ur post and was wondering how i wud remove or modify my modem to match LW. im getting like 2kps download speed cus of this firewall. please mail bk:)

I'll need a little more info on your set up first....:rolleyes_2:

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

i use win xp. my LW Version is 4.12.6. i only hav the windows firewall but its disabled. my modem was sent from Pipex. i am accessing the internet through a downstairs pc on a LAN connection, no router. i was told there may b a built in firewall in the modem but cant c how to configure it or turn it off. this is set up in my home. and no this isnt my first time wiv LW. it worked perfectly wiv my BT router.
