I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled limewire. I also deleted all the limewire folders from my computer and reinstalled that way. I just want it to work. and some of the explanations make no sense... im not a computer engineer so make it easier to read please....

Here's several threads that will help you reconfigure nortons
[1] My LW wont connect I've tried everything
[2] Configuring nortons internet security
[3] Lw nortons internet security 2007 - scroll down to post #3 shanah16

you must only have 1 firewall running otherwise it will cause conflicting problems -- leave windows vista firewall disabled. configure your nortons as instructed to give LW full access to your computer.
