Okay, I've tried everything to get the brick wall symbol off of my LimeWire. I can't download anything. I've put it as an exception on the Windows Firewall list and my Norton AntiVirus' list. It works on other accounts on my computer (I use Windows XP.) I am an administrator user on the computer, just like all of the accounts it works on. Oh, and it's worked in previous times. It just began a few months ago, maybe late 2007. It could've been earlier than that. Any help here?

Please confirm that you only have a windows firewall -- temporarily disable your firewall and see if you can connect -- if you can it's your windows firewall that's the problem -- if you can't it's something else -- Have you got a router (this contains a firewall) if so check the firewall is giving Limewire full access -- now try and connect with your windows firewall enabled.

How would I check if my router is allowing LimeWire? And I doubt it's the router because other accounts on my computer can connect to LimeWire no problem.

I'm almost relieved to see that someone else is having the same problems I am. I bought Limewire Pro last year, and it worked fine up until a few months ago, but 2008 for me. It says there's a firewall, but that symbol has always been there, when it worked before....plus, my anti-virus software has expired, so there's no working firewall stuff to speak of. I checked it anyway, under the firewall section of McAfee, and it was allowed, not blocked. I'm at a loss here! I'm going nuts! Plus, when I did the Limewire Pro Lookup, not ONE of my FOUR email addresses were recognized; obviously I know I bought, paid for, and used Pro so I don't know how that's even possible. Please help!

try this link by LOTR (XP accounts and Limewire)
