Thanks again Stief,
If its no problem then I'll leave it at that....
The whole firewall question is a bit strange as I am the Admin user, ie its my laptop, used at home, no work/office network arrangement etc... wierd.

As you seem to be somewhat of an expert on this I wonder if I could ask you for some general advice...
I understand that this a Limewire forum, so the question might seem a little odd... however...
Is Limewire the 'best' P2P program to use... ie most users, most content etc. for Mac?

Thanks

Amedeo
