Can't Connect bc of Firewall
 
It seems that I am not the only person recently having trouble connecting to LimeWire because of a firewall.

Yesterday I was downloading music fine. Then, I started up LimeWire today and downloaded the newest version and it all of the sudden wouldn't connect because of the little brick wall in front of the globe. So, I changed my preferences on Windows FireWall - still nothing. So, I deleted the new version and went back to the old version I had and it still didn't work.

I've tried everything. I've turned firewall both on and off, still nothing. I added LimeWire to the list of programs allowed, still nothing. I've restarted my computer a thousand times and reinstalled the program a lot.

Is there just something wrong in general with limewire, or is there something I can do?

Can't connect
 
I have had the same issues. I have even tried to reconfig my firewalls on Mcafee and on Windows. I am running Vista so If anyone can provide some help it would be greatly appreciated.

In Limewire Links (below) click on (Fixes for LW when LW isn't operating as it should) if your problem remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here
