Default Verizon VZ Access Manager Blocked Limewire

After I installed Verizon VZ Access Manager for a Verizon Wireless PC Broadband Internet Card, Limewire would no longer connect, even over LAN, ethernet or wi-fi connections. Any suggestions on how to make Limewire work with the VZ Access Manager installed, I have to use that software when I am not in wi-fi range for my verizon broadband PC Card?


Thanks in advance.....

The thing is, even if you do find a way around your ISP restricting your P2P communication your ISP will reconfigure their equipment and stop you again.

So basically, if you want to use Verizon then learn to live without P2P facilities.
