I have no idea what I'm doing
 
Yeah so I cannot connect to lime wire. I see tons of people are having this problem as well. I have looked at my firewall, made a new rule, allowed permit all for limewire and still I get the stupid "enabling open sharing" thing. I'm getting frustrated :bangh: and I don't know what to do. I really don't even know much about computers, so I'm excited I could even get this far. I even set up an alert every time the firewall rule matches? :confused: whatever that means??Well, the thing keeps alerting me every 2 seconds and I don't know why. If I can't connect then what's this all about? I know no one can know my computer or what's up, but I don't even know what info to give to figure it out. Please help me :o

It always says "Enabling Open Information Sharing":D Don't worry about that bit.

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the globe)?
How many green connection bars do you see in the bottom left corner?
What thing keeps alerting you every 2 seconds?:confused:

Read the sticky below, there's a heap of info about connection/firewall problems.
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're stuck, post back with your details. Post #2 of the sticky will show you the info we need.

Click on the blue link that I left in my post.
Then you'll see all of the connection probs info, plus a list of questions to answer so that we can help you.

To find out your connection & firewall status, look at your LW page (when you've opened LW & see the search options etc).
