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.

Make sure that your LW isn't using the same listening port as your husband's LW. In LW, go tools > options > advanced > firewall... there you'll see LW's listening port. Try changing to a port in the range of 49152 - 65535 (eg 65000) > apply > ok.

If that doesn't help, try the other fixes in this thread: If LW Will Not Connect

If nothing there helps, that thread has info about the system details that we need (scroll to the bottom of the thread)
