![]() Limewire can't get a connection. I have Norton 360, which must be blocking it. I've looked through all the Norton settings a million times but I can't find anywhere where I can add Limewire to the exceptions or take it off of the "worm" list. I've also tried reinstalling limewire... Can anyone help? Thanks. |

Go to Tasks & Settings --> Change Advanced Settings --> Firewall Protections Settings --> Firewall Program Rule (Tab) Look for the LimeWire program in there and make sure the access drop down menu is set to "Allow" If it is then the setting is correct, if you have to change to "Allow" then click "Apply" If after doing this the problem remains it might be your firewall on your router (if you are using one) and this must also be configured to allow limewire access.
