Can't_Unblock_Firewall September 24th, 2006 10:27 AM

I can't find the firewall to unblock
 
Alright, I just downloaded Limewire today, and it shows the firewall brick thing. I disabled the XP firewall, but it is still there. I've had Limewire before, and never had that problem. The only program that I downloaded between this time and my first time was AVG Antivirus Free Edition, which I believe has no firewall. Can someone help me firgure out how to solve this problem? I've read the site's page and many threads here already, but nothing seems to help me...

1. OS version: Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have: The XP one is the only one I know about...
3. How much ram: A lot
4. Hard Disk space available? A lot
5. Connection type: DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers: Not sure
7. Where are you trying to connect from: My house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have: LW 4.12.6 and Java Version 1.5.0
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Not sure
10. Go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!': Yes
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Connected with 2 other computers in my house.
12. Is this a your 1st try at FW or is this a new problem with an experienced user: 2nd time downloading, 1st time happening.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of FW's interface: Yes

Help would be greatly appreciated.

wondering why September 24th, 2006 01:16 PM

Try the fixes in this thread...

You more than likely have a Nat firewall in your Modem....
Try the UPnP fix and if that does not work you will have to Forward a Port...
You will need to know what the make and model number of your Modem/Router, have a look under it the information you will need is there..:idea:
