Default Tried everything and still have a firewall.....

I have configured the windows xp firewall, even defaulted the settings and let limewire add itself as an exception. I have norton and added limewire as an exception to everything, worm protection, etc.. My router is configured UPnP enabled, what else can I do?

I have a strong signal but am not getting very many search results and under the "hosts" it only shows outgoing????

Default Same problem here

I have been working on this for three days! I have done the firewall exceptions on Windows firewall and Norton Internet Security. I've added ports. I've downloaded earlier versions of LW that worked. I have port forwarded. I have added ports to the firewall exceptions list. I have even done a system restore to a date when LW was working just a few months ago. NOTHING is working.

HELP!!!

2. What firewalls you have? Windows (off) NAV
3. How much ram? 1.00 GB
