Goto your help bar and type in Open port and it'll give you directions on how to do that. Just look for Limewire. Also you might have to completley uninstall Mcafee from your computer. When I started I couldn't get LW to work for nothing and as soon as I got rid of it LW ran fine. Hope this helps somewhat
