technical support question (could not post in tech support thread for some reason) LW won't connect

[ladybugg]

Hi everyone, I am new to this and I am by no means a computer whiz so please be patient with me. I am unable to establish a connection to the network, Limewire is detecting a firewall but I have the firewall turned off and it still won't work. The firewall is through AntiVir software, I am on a home pc, my isp is Embarq, my internet connection is broadband, I have the Windows XP operating system, my husband's laptop is connected through the same router and has no issues connecting so that can't be the issue. I have read through numerous posts on here and have not found a solution to the problem. I am sorry if there is any information I have failed to include. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
