Default Firewall

For some reason limewire says I have a firewall running. The windows firewall is set to allow limewire. Even when I disable it it still says I have a firewall running. This just started to happen. I did search here and nothing there helps. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

If you recently updated LW then try deleting the LW prefs folder; Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

Whilst it shows you have a firewall problem message, does it show it's connecting at all? Any green bars?

Choose either norton or Vista firewall & disable the other. Make sure LW is allowed thru firewall.
