Limewire Thinks I Have A Firewall

For whatever it's worth, I completely purged any Limewire related programs from my system and then re-downloaded and it's working again.

Thanx for your feedback

I'm having similar problems with connections and firewalls! I posted over a week ago, but then I went on vaca where I didn't have access to a computer, so with my luck I got responses but that thread is now erased! Anyway, I upgraded to PRO sometime last year; a few months ago, however, I started having connection problems. It has the "firewall" icon at the bottom, but I've allowed Limewire for my McAfee programs. (Technically, I don't even have a working McAfee program; it expired and I don't have the $ to update it, so the firewall shouldn't even be a problem!) In the lower-left corner, it constantly says "Starting Connection" but never actually establishes one. I'm dying here! I noticed someone recommends uninstalling, then reinstalling Limewire; has anyone tried that and had success? And will I have to pay for PRO again if I do that?? I'm dying here! I want my Limewire working again!

I have just recently downloaded limewire and I have yet to be able to connect! It just says it found a firewall...I definately allowed limewire as an exception or whatever already...I don't know what to do. I am disappointed! I was looking foward to using this...

If you have had your pro version for less than 6 months you should be ok if longer than 6 months you will have to repay -- if your problem still remains after uninstall/reinstall -- In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if still no good click on (system details) fill in and post back here

So I'm having the same issue as the original post and I clicked on the links that were recommended and seriously, I am lost. Can someone please explain to me what to do in simple terms??? Just do a, b, c.

In the Limewire link (If LW will not connect) you try these fixes one at a time starting from the top and work your way through the lot -- the instructions are easy to follow so just take your time and make sure you follow the instructions properly otherwise the fix wont work -- One fix wont fix everyones problems because of all the different computer configurations and software etc etc. even though the problem is the same.
