 I dont see a 3rd party firewall!!! I moved to Mississippi a couple of months ago and when I did I had to change from suddenlink to cableone. My limewire had worked fine before I moved. As soon as I got here, the brick came in front of the globe and said limewire was blocked by a firewall. Since then I have spent hours reading other peoples problems like this and trying to do the same things they were told in order to fix it. NOTHING has worked.  I have changed ports, made lw and gnutella port an exception on windows firewall, called my isp (they said they were not blocking limewire), all sorts of things. I did the test and it said that limewire was not blocked by windows firewall but another firewall. I dont have any other firewalls!!!  I do not use a router and the only other programs that I have that might be interfering are webroot spy sweeper and trendmicro anti virus. Which I have looked all through both of those looking for a solution to my problem and I havent found anything. Besides, I had those before I moved and lw worked. I have deleted lw and also removed it and readded it to the exceptions list. What in the world could be wrong with this thing?!?!?  Im dying without my music   |
