My setup

windows xp

windows firewall which I turn off but the firewall sign is still in front of the world sign. I did have norton firewall but Ive removed it because I thought this was the problem. I have also allowed limewire in my firewall windows settings.

my provider is aol

my rooter is wireless netgear 54 mbps adsl

I have 2 hard drives one reads 95% free the other is 45% free
I have a sony vaio computor pentium 3.19ghz 512 mb ram

conection is from my home

the test site worked fine

no anti virus

Version limewire pro 4.9.33 java 1.6.0._07

My limewire has worked fine for a few years without problem then all at once its stop downloading the speed is reading 0 although the turbo charged lights are displayed. I don't understand why the firewall wall is displayed when I have turned it off in my windows settings.? could this be the problem.

When I bought limewire I just downloaded it to my computor so I have not got a disc to reload it. I would purchase it again but I am afraid it would just end up with the same problem .

Any ideas ? is there a wizzard fix you can download for limewire?

HELP!! please

Try changing ports. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 65000 > apply > ok. Or you can try any port numbers in the range of 49152 - 65535.

Your router might have it's own firewall. What's the model of your Netgear (eg DG834G, WGR614 etc)?
Check the router's manual to see whether it has UPnP support. If it does, enable UPnP within the router (the manual should tell you how) & then in LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Check the button to use UPnP > apply > ok.

If that doesn't help, let me know the router model & I can give you a link to instructions for port forwarding

Don't run without a firewall - you can leave the Win firewall on, just double check that LW's being allowed access. The link below has more info about configuring firewalls.

Definitely don't buy Pro again if you're having problems There's not much difference between Pro & basic anyway.
