Firewall preventing connection????
 

My internet connection is ok, but Limewire will not connect. One of the icons on the Limewire status bar shows a firewall, is that a problem? Something I should do to connect succesfully?

Thx

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- Try one fix at a time --- do them in this order: Check your firewall, Delete/Replace gnutella.net File, Delete Limewire's Preference Folder -- if still not working go back to the top and do the rest of the fixes. NOTE: [1] when you replace the gnutella.net file with a new one ensure that the filesize is not 0 (zero) bytes -- if so download another gnutella.net file. [2] The Preference Folder is another name for Limewire Folder

If problem still remains click on (system details) fill in and post back here

I haven't started my Limewire software in a few weeks, but the last time I did it showed a firewall blocking me from downloading. I disabled my antivirus software and that fixed the problem at that time. Now I open it and it shows the brick firewall and, despite having disabled Windows and my antivirus firewalls, it continues to show the firewall icon. I can't share or download anything. Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried to change the listening port, but it didn't help. I'm not sure that I know how change the port on my modem. I have Windows XP. Thank you!!

Is your LW connection ok (all green/blue connection bars)?
