firewall problems (limewire pro/windows vista/ McAfee/ Linksys)
 

Hey everyone,

This is my first post in this community because i've trid everything i can think of to make limewire connect with no luck. I'm running limewire pro on windows vista (which my be the problem because it SUCKS) and i have McAfee installed on my comp but i have turned off the firewall and i have also turned off the windows firewall and still limewire says it detects a frewall and wont connect... i am connected wirelessly to the internet with a linksys router, does the router itself have a firewall? because all the firewalls i know of ar turned off....

Help please.... i really want to start downloading music on my new laptop it so quiet in here...
peace

Try Uninstall completely the macafee, turn on your windows Firewall

What are the model No's of your router, It has a NAT Firewall ?
I will find you the setup page,

i'm unstalling mcafee right now and my wireless router is: Linksys Wireless G model: WRT54G

Thanks so much for your help.

There's actually another tip you can choose if you don't want uninstall McAfee altogether...

This is one suggestion...

These are the Port Forward instructions for your router...

And one more tip make sure you are using Java 6...;)

Firewall problems
 

Hi Tyler.
I got rid of McAfee last year and now run AVG and had no problems until just recently. Now when I try to download it tells me I'm not connected - which I am and the little earth icon down on the left hand side of the toolbar shows I'm behind a firewall - which I'm not. Someone said certain ISP's are blocking all P2P files. I'm on Tiscali in the UK and this seems to be a problem one. Its bizzare because sometimes it will let me download and then not. If anyone knows of a remedy to this (apart from changing my ISP again!!) I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks in anticipation!
Lesley.

Would you believe it, it's 00.14 now and all of a sudden I can download again!!!!!!!

Asleep on the job
 

Wondering Why
Sorry I left you to it WW, I woke up with the keyboard imprinted on the left side of my face:lmao:
Thanks for picking up
ahimsa.

I actually emailed Tiscali last night to ask them why I was suddenly having these problems and if there was any truth in the rumors that they are blocking P2P files......of course they have denied that bit and have put it down to technical problems which they are dealing with...................
yeah right! :bangh:

In fact they sounded quite put out at my assumptions!!!

LMAO you crack me up :xirokrotima:
