windows updated itself and now limewire won't connect!
I won't bother with all the details about my system because this is what the problem is. Windows Update. Every time windows updates itself (i can't stop it, it just does it anyway) i have connection problems. Besides it was just working, and then after todays random forced update, limewire won't connect. So if anyone knows what ports to open or whatever, please let me know . thx!

When you start-up your computer, try wating 3-5min, I find that it helps.
If Windows is your only firewall then you can tell it to update it when you want. Go to START, CONTROL PANEL, WINDOWS UPDATES. Then tell it when to update when your want, like Bi-weekly @ 5:00, or whatever. If its not there then Go to Windows Security Center. Or Windows Firewall and allow the Limewire program.

Oh and when you start up limewire make sure that you open it from the the system tray in the bottom right corner.I'ts pointless to wait 3-5 min if you didn't allow limewire to start connecting and start-up when you set-up limewire

Manual... do your updates manually... and, if you're using Norton Internet Security for so-called 'protection', get used to the not-green popup after Norton has supposedly installed ! Manual... glad you have the answer...
