I deleted the program in my firewall (zonealarm) and this time when i started it, it requested server access which i allowed. At least it appears to be trying. But still is stuck on starting connection.

HelpIt's driving me crazy-It worked fine until I had to recover my computer and reinstall it from scratch-anyone have answers?

Update: Worked fine this morning; now it's not working because it is detecting a fire wall. For this reason alone, and I could be wrong, I think the problem is with LimeWire and not our computers.

I agree!

I am having the exact same problem our Limewire appears to have downloaded properly (the free version) and we have already deleted it and redownloaded, made sure the exception is added to our Firewall and the Listening Port added to it as well but Limewire won't show any search results! So frustrating! Our internet provider has insisted there is no proxy or anything for our internet connection so now I am at a loss....

it just started working the second I sent the last post... lets hope it does for you all too and stays that way! fingers crossed

how dd u get it to work?

I'm sorry but I really am not sure, looks like you have all tried everything I tried it just randomly started working. but it comes and goes. when you view the connections that is the problem - sometimes the connections aren't working - the status should say outgoing and the vendor should say limewire but I don't know how to make this happen it seems random. there is an option on the connections part to add a port but I dont know how this works?

you all sound like me, limewire was working well then this firewall went up over night and now I can't connect, can't someone out there help us...........please

i installed limewire but when i click on icon it says limewire setup wizard and saved folder and shared folders i did everything and the button that says finish is not highlighted and i can not click on it. i tried uninstalling it and reinstallling it several times and can not go on to step 7 and connect....???
