I dont' know what else to do to get connected. I have allowed Limewire on my Windows Firewall, I have opened the port on my Norton, and now I have actually turned off Norton, I have spent an hour on the phone with my router provider and have the router firewall turned off, I have downloaded Limewire 4 times. PLEASE HELP ME I still can't connect. Limewire shows the firewall symbol still!!!

Default Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

Finally i have access!!!! I still have the firewall in front of the globe but my limewire works awsome!!! My problem lied in the firewall of my router/modem. Be sure to contact your internet service provider to check if they block gnuetella connections. this is where they helped me to discover the firewall in my dsl router.
