![]() OK...That's ruled out... Check with these instructions to make sure you have your Norton and Limewire configured together properly.. Port Forwarding for the Norton Internet Security 2007 If it still wont connect try these fixes.... Right-click the Limewire icon and going to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version. Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator. (but 'only' if you're the admin of your comp.!)

![]() That leaves me at a catch 22 situation , And I believe you are right there is fire wall there , but Aliant tells me there is none I can get into my modem no problem but it is not as pictured in the link for port forwarding it has different icons in it...I can not get the ports for LW as I can not open it. And Why are my sons computers able to go through this same modem with Xp and I have to change the ports for Vista. |

![]() Probably has a conflict with Vista and uPnp. Have you checked to see if you have the latest firmware for you spedstream. Remember Vista is new and there are still some products that may need to have there drivers and firmware upgraded. Some products still do not work properly with Vista. You can find a link to the firmware on the left hand side of the page in the link below. Siemens AG - FAQ's: 4200 & 6520 |

![]() Hi, Apologies in advance if this has been answered previously, but I havent been able to navigate through the entire site yet as it is so huge. I have a problem with accessing Limewire (or other similar like Bittorrent) simultaneously when my partner is using on his machine. We're connected to the net (ADSL2) via a Netgear Router (wired and wireless). One can use it successfully, but as soon as the other person launches the program the 2nd person to open has a Firewall msg displayed at the bottom of the program... Does anyone have a solution they'd like to share??? Thanking you in anticipation. |
