I download Limewire 4.9.37
I have Win XP Pro
I use McAfee
I have DSL MSN thru Quest Action Tec DSL Gateway router
2 gig ram
I shut off Windows firewall by double clicking my McAfee and then Manage security setting for Windows Firewall and then the Windows Firewall box came up and I clikc on Off ( not recommended)
Then ( and it was late at night) I some how found a function within McAfee to turn off the firewall for a setting of 15 min up to 60 mins (( can not seem to find that now, but .... )) I set it for 60 min

Then started LimeWire Note
the little brick wall in lower left indicating I am still firewall protected
Then picked Audio
Selected a title
And get Limewire is currently connecting to the network, Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network
I know and have read the many, many connection problems and have tried many of the imput suggestions but with no success I am asking for details on how to.... again thank you for your imput and I look forward to your assistance.
