This is a new problem with an experienced user. I have installed a new computer. Using the same firewall software as before- MCAFFEES.

Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ![]() FIREWALL IS MCAFFEES - IN SETTINGS IT SAYS LIMEWIRE HAS FULL ACCESS 16. What country are you living in?
