Exclamation Bad Connection caused by firewall??

Well i connected fine to limewire w/ dsl as my firewall allowed it but i switched to comcast and got their wireless gateway and now while i can still connect to limewire the brick wall is there meaning it detected a firewall. My windows firewall allows it but apparently somthing is blocking it. What can i do? Can i fix it?

If you can't find a model number on the gateway, have a look underneath.

I didn't think Windows Defender included a firewall (thought it was antispyware). You can use a software firewall, just make sure that it's allowing LW.
User Cant Connect - LimeWire

Try port forwarding for your Netgear, the instructions are here.
Port Forwarding for the Netgear CG814WGv2
Don't forget to set up a static IP address first. LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the router setup should all be the same number
