I disabled Windows Firewall and deleted (I think) McAfee SecurityCenter from my computer. But there's still a little icon in the corner that says "Limewire has detected a firewall." Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you are going through a router it could have a firewall in it. Your ISP could be blocking you. I guess we need a little more Info.

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?

You Linksys router has a firewall in it you will have to either port forward or enable UPnP in the router the link below will take you to the instructions for port forwarding your router make sure you do not skip any steps including setting p a static IP address.

alright, i'll try it in a little bit

As Grandpa suggested, you can also configure it using UPnP, see instructions from Step 2 here http://www.panasonic.co.jp/pcc/produ...ys_wrt54g.html

I did everything that Grandpa said to do, but those search results still don't show. I'm going to try the other link you gave me.

It still doesn't work! Am I doing something wrong???

I see you are not sure who your ISP is you think it is comcast. Do you live in a apartment complex where they provide the Internet.

I asked my stepdad and its actually Armstrong
