I installed Sygate personal firewall and I don't know if it is configured properly but I do see a brick wall in front of the globe. I am currently trying to optimize the firewall's settings, but it will take some time.

I tried what you said with bitzi, because that is what I had read elsewhere and it didn't work, but I will try again now. Nope, nothing. I am hitting the link for magnet to gnutella, but nothing at all happens in Limewire. Should it be opening up a window or doing something to let me know that it recognizes that I want it to find that magnet? I am using Mozilla Firefox by the way.

Also, everytime I return here, I have to reset my password. Why?
Thanks very much for the help.

Try the tips in this link on configuring the Sygate Firewall...

If you still have trouble what's the name and model number for your modem/router ??

With the magnet links make sure you have limewire open and you click on the Gnutella link not the edonkey one...
It should open up for you...

I will ask Admin about your password problem...

I heard from Admin and they have said there doesn't seem to be a problem at this end...It's more than likely browser related...
Some browsers need to be added to either or both a clearance & a cookie list. Otherwise passwords are not retained. Most passwords are cookie related.....

Well, I think I have all of the past problems worked out. However it seems that sometimes, the browse host just never works.

Since we're having this dialog though I have two more questions. I downloaded Avast, AntiVir, Bit Defender 8, Peer Guardian, SpyBot and AVG to protect myself from viruses, Trojans, worms etc that I might pickup from Limewire. A friend told me that having all of those on my computer at the same time will really slow it down is that true?

Also, I recently moved some folders around and when I opened Limewire it didn't restart the previous downloads. I now have a whole bunch of incomplete files in my "incomplete" folder. Many of them were mostly finished being DL'd. Can I get them to complete themselves somehow?

Don't have all of those Antivirus apps on your computer, they will clash with each other and won't protect you at all...

Keep either Advast or Antivir or AVG, All 3 are good, but choose only one..
Keep AVG antispyware
Keep Peerguardian
Keep Spybot

I'm not sure about Bitdefender I have never used it...

I have AVG antispyware, Ad-Aware, Spybot...
Peerguardian
And AVG Antivirus...

I'm not familiar with moving the incomplete folder around, but you might want to set your folders back to default, hopefully they will return to normal..

Should I post that router info here? It kinda seems unsafe. And I am still seeing the brick wall, so I think that the firewall is working fine. I have had to do a bit of research to get things working right, but I think it's good now.

I will play with these virus protection a little longer, but I will keep looking back at what you use. I find, so far that avast is very slow, and I found it funny that avast gave me a message that it was turning itself off because it found that AntiVir is running.
