![]() Still having firewall trouble...what is going on? Will someone please help me? I am a college student too but my roommates program works. I did everything I was told to do so far but still get the message that a firewall is blocking my connection. PLEASE HELP! Noelle |

![]() Noelle, I speak on behalf of alot of college students that have become aware of the fact that universities are blocking ports, making Limewire inaccessible. My roomates Limewire works, its just a mystery, for some reason, my school allows his puter to connect. There is nothing you can do to connect until Limewire gives us a way of using their LEGAL program on the bandwidth that WE PAY FOR (at least i pay for mine, and did not sign any contract, I pay for service, which is being blocked so that they can have more room for other people). And this is not "hacking" as some have referenced. Limewire is legal is it not? I pay for ethernet service, checks payable not to my university, but to the provider. Therefore Legal program + I pay for my ethernet to a company, and a third party is blocking my access, I think I have a right to find out how to circumnavigate the troublesome 3rd party. |

![]() Oh and also, I think that most people on this forum who can't connect are at universities, and are simply having their ports blocked...so its probly not any little things like turning "start when windows starts" off or anything like that. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO UNTIL LIMEWIRE FIGURES OUT HOW TO LET US CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE 3RD PARTY BLOCKER. |

![]() MusicChick, Service pack 2 beefs up XP's internet security and doesn't always do what you want it to. Turning it off doesn't always work. It can be a real problem. Go to your network connections, properties, right click your connection, then select advanced, settings, go to the exceptions tab and remove "Limewire - The Best Sharing Program", add - limewire.exe manually. Good luck, Norm |

![]() FYI: Limewire worked great at my old apartment. My new apartment doesnt let it work, I had the same settings as when I moved of my old apartment. I tried service pack 1, service pack 2, zone alarm, windows firewall...I tried every trick learned from posts and then some. Nothing did any good, and THIS IS THE SAME FOR MOST PEOPLE ON THIS TOPIC WHO CANT CONNECT. IT WILL NOT WORK IT WILL NOT WORK ..and i'm just trying to save you all some time by saying that the only way to get it to work is not hours of tinkering with little settings that wont change limewire. LIMEWIRE must provide the solution to go around the 3rd party. SIMPLE PERIOD. So when do we get a fix to go around the 3rd party? |

![]() helbigtw, You need to realize that 99.9 percent of problems with Limewire are solved by correcting issues within your system. Limewire can't tell the difference from your old apartment & your new apartment. What makes you think that was Limewires fault? Think about it. Norm |
