You shouldn't have two firewalls or two Anti-Viruses running...They will clash with each other and leave you unprotected...

Try unistalling One of each and then see if your problems are still occuring...

well...i know for a fact that this is not the issue because:
1. I've had 2 of each for well over 2 years now and limewire had no trouble with any of it.
2. I've tried uninstalling one, the other...and both...and it still hasn't made a difference.

This is why I'm so confused
Nothing that I seem to do has any effect...

Cool

AAAHH HAAA! I figured it out! It was the avast! antivirus, not the firewalls. Avast has a P2P shield that prevents anything incoming or outgoing for P2P. After I disabled that, limewire worked again. Just thought I'd let you know that the problem is solved. But now I'm wondering why limewire didn't work even after I uninstalled both the firewalls and antivirus software. Ah well...at least it works.

I don't think that's it...I have Advast and my p2p shield is running..That shield is for scanning the files that you receive from limewire, so I would personally keep it running if I where you...

ok, so you have it too...if you open the On-Access Protection Control you'll find a list of all the things that avast! protects against. The P2P shield, for me, blocks connections to the Gnutella network. All I did was disable this feature (and only this feature) and limewire worked again. Any file that I download is still scanned separately. For me, this is a win-win situation.
