pje Hi
Try this & let us know if it fixes it.
How to use Manual Port faward

Universal Plug and Play may not be working properly Due to this update. "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)"
If this update is installed on your computer & UPnP is in use in Limewire
Try switching to Manual Port faward, using port numbers between 45000 To 65000
Both Manual Port faward No, & Listerning port should be set at the same number
GO to Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall Config & use Manual Port faward.
If you are using a router to connect, that may also need configuring
Find your router listed here, Use this blue link. & dont forget to create a static IP first.

Your Servant,
Peace.

Hi

GOT IT WORKING!!!!!!!

I had to disable completly the firewall, and reload actually I got a new one - virus program. I used Microsoft Windows Line OneCare free 90 day trial, and allowed the firewall for that program and disabled the one that came with the pc.


Thank god, I was getting rather frustrated.

Thanks all for all your help.

Hi

Worth a try, go to the microsoft site, look in their internet security site and download the program. When you install it, it acts as the default, and overrides your problem one.
