![]() 1. When updating Nortn or LW, Norton needs to be reset. See Reconfiguring Norton Firewall. Also make sure your XP firewall is turned off. Is still not connect then -> 2. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) |
