 Make sure your Windows firewall is turned off. Do you see a brick wall at bottom of LW's interface? Norton & Windows firewalls cannot run together, they clash & cause problems including 'less' security, not more.  Very old but still applicable Norton instructions for LimeWire: Configuring Norton Internet Security (oops just realised the images are corrupt, I will need to re-upload them over next day or so.)  |

| I actually had the same problem on a vista machine and I had no firewall to begin with. And I'm not using Norton. :/ It just seems to be a really long wait time to connect for me. Not sure if that would help any. |
