Firewall Icon
 

Hey. I installed Limewire about a week ago and it connected fine. But recently it hasn't been connecting. After about a minute or two after selecting 'connect' a message comes up saying "you do not appear to have an active internet connection or your firewall may be blocking limewire". Also, the world icon has a brick wall in front of it but I went to the windows firewall and saw that Limewire was already ticked :confused: I don't have any other firewalls yet cos I recently got a new hard drive and haven't got round to installing another one yet. The firewall icon has always been there but it didn't cause me problems last week. Any tips??

Can you give us some more info?
