![]() Im not sure if this is what you meant when you said you added Limewire to your firewall but what i did is i went to the Norton Antivirus icon and i opened it. Then, i went to "pc security" and then to "manage firewall." Then i went to "program rules" and i scrolled down to limewire. To the right of the name was a thing that gave me three options. I could either allow it, block it, or custom. I chose allow and then i closed it and it worked! Im not sure if this will work for others because I have the newer version of Norton Antivirus but hey, its worth a shot. |

![]() The first thing to try is deleting LW's preferences folder. Have a look at this thread for detailed instructions (click on link): If LW Will Not Connect Make sure that LW's properly closed first. After you delete LW's preferences folder, you should go through the setup wizard all over again ![]() If that doesn't help, try the other fixes in that thread. Just go through them slowly ![]() If nothing there helps, we need your system details. That help thread has info about which details we need. |
