I'm running Windows XP Professional and I seem to have a problem getting out from behind the firewall when I run Limewire. In Control Panel>Windows Firewall>Exceptions, Limewire has been added and checked. This has no effect in Limewire. The firewall remains. This method worked fine until a few days ago. I downloaded the Beta version of BearShare. I got a copy of the startup program from an individual, who shall remain nameless. The next thing I noticed was when I ran BearShare I got a lot popup windows telling me something about writing scripts. I have no idea what this means or whether it had an effect on my operating system. I've run a system diagnostic and a program called PC Angel, which resets all the factory settings. But if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions to remove the firewall from Limewire I'd be very interested in hearing them.
Thanks
