Only one Green bar means you are 'Disconnected' from the Gnutella Network.

when i open limewire there is a firewall and it wont let me search or connect. How do i remove the firewall?

limewire is not working. added on my firewall exceptions. tried uninstalling/reinstallling. no good. the "simple test" link said it worked. 3rd party security doesn't have firewall. can't turn off windows firewall coz my brother will kill me. it woked with the firewall before really fast, why should it stop working now??? same ISP, same modem, browsing speed ok. just that limewire won't move at all. HELP.

just turned off my firewall out of desperation. still no good. limewire still detecting firewall. what's going on??? it was working well 3 days ago!!!

im having the same problem... worked b4 then i had some windows updates... now it wont go through the firewall

Did you people misread something? Laziness will get you nowhere when it is specified in forum rules to supply these details in connection problem threads. We cannot help you much without such details.

ok last week i was using limewire no problems...
then i downloaded some windows updates.
now i cant connect again!

It says i have a firewall tho ive turned them off....
but if i go to my firewall options and look at current programs working it says that limewire is sending and recieving...

Tried re-installing it. no luck
