im sorry. the little globe that says that i am working behind a firewall wont show the brickwall and says that limewire does not detect a firewall.used to for months till now.

The firewall icon in LW doesn't mean that your firewall isn't on. The brick wall icon shows when LW detects a firewall that's not configured properly. If you know that your firewall is on, but don't see the brick wall, that's a good thing. It means that your firewall's allowing LW & that you'll be able to share your files with other people

thank you now I can share with confidence

mine shows the brickwall and it is configured in both of my firewalls.i have had lw for a long time and havent used it for a while now it dont work.wt_ is going on here?
