![]() Hi all, I've looked across all the other posts and tried lots of different suggestions to no avail. I used to be able to download via LW, but now I cannot. My specs are as follows: - LM: 4.16.6 - OS: Vista Home Premium - Laptop: HP Pavillion - RAM: 2gb - HDD: 120gb, with plenty left - Anti Virus: Norton Internet Security 2007 (v. 10.4.0.13) - Also running IE7PRO - Connections: have tried all three of the following, with the same results: - 3G HSPDA - WiMax - WiFi - ISP: Mweb (South Africa) - I get the firewall image infront of the globe (bottom left of LW), and depending on the setting as suggested in the various forums, I have either one or no green bars on the connection strength. - What's changed since I lasted connected: Strated syncing my Black Berry Curve with Outlook, and added a new camera and software (Canon EOS 40D) as well as iTouch 32gb. Am suffering from withdrawal . . . someone help??? Thanks, Led |

![]() Check your Norton Internet Security. That tends to Block Lime Wire from going through. Let me no if that helps. Many third-party security programs block LimeWire from connecting either by restricting access to the port that LimeWire uses to connect to the Gnutella network (i.e. - a firewall), the program itself, or a combination of the two. These programs may have been pre-installed on your computer when you first purchased it. Check the Windows system tray (usually located in the bottom-right corner of the screen, next to the time), and locate the icon that is associated with the security program that you are using. Right-click the icon to enter the settings.

![]() Hi, I've tried disabling Norton's Firewall, as well as the Windows Firewall; but I still don't get any joy. Also, in Norton, under Personal Firewall - Program Control, I've ensured that Limewire is set to ALLOW. Any other ideas? Led :-) |
