Limewire Thinks I Have A Firewall

[BrokenTable]

After never having any problems previously, I can no longer connect to LW. The problem appears to be that LW thinks it sees a firewall. However, I've completed disabled my firewall in McAfee (which has always worked for me in the past as far as getting on LW), but no dice. Any idea what might be going on?

HI,

I'm using norton internet security on Window XP and disabled by firewall and I have the same problem.

I don't even have a firewall, and sometimes it lets me on and sometimes it doesn't, every time this happens, I have to delete it and redownload it to work. Sometimes that doesn't work.

After having LW pro, ive had no problems in the past until now. I allowed exceptions in both my computer's built in firewall and in norton's firewall. It still thinks there is a firewall. I also just updated LW to the latest version but the problem still stands.

i think it has something to do with the recent update, because normally I could connect to it instantly, but as of late, its rare that i can get past 1 bar... I have trend micro and i shut it off and closed it, AND my windows firewall is off too and it still says it detects a firewall...

Have you upgraded your version of LW recently -- if so you will have to reconfigure your firewall settings -- if you haven't upgraded -- 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

Ensure you only have one software firewall running -- in your case nortons -- have you configured your nortons to allow LW full access if not go to this link (Limewire & Norton Internet Security 2007) scroll down to post #2 @ #3 -- follow the instructions by shanah16. -- reboot your computer now try and connect to LW -- if still no good In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if your problem still remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here

As you have updated your version of LW you have to reconfigure your nortons firewall. Go to this link (Limewire & Norton Internet Security 2007) scroll down to post #2 @ #3 -- follow the instructions by shanah16. -- reboot your computer now try and connect to LW
