Default Limewire can't connect past firewall on Leopard

Hello all,

I've in an Intel Core 2 duo, 2.33 Ghz, Macbook pro, running Leopard OS X 10.5.1

I can run limewire 4.14.10 but it says there's no connection and that there's a firewall.

As i understand, I don't have a firewall on.

Any help? - I searched the forums, but couldn't find a clear answer.

Thanks for any help

You've checked the System Preferences, on the first line is the Security button? That opens the Security Window where there's a Firewall button?

I have a desktop imac G5 intel core duo, and just installed Leopard. I had to set the button in the Firewall window to "Set access for specific services and applications."

What I see are three applications that "block incoming connections" and one (LimeWire.app) that "Allows incoming connections." Limewire works even through my wireless network without detecting a firewall.

Also, have you installed the firmware and other latest Leopard follow-on upgrades that Apple just released for PowerBooks?

LW shows a firewall until a connection is made.

That being said, and since you followed jvg's good suggestions, the brickwall can also indicate a firewall outside your computer (like in a router or a dorm/school network).

Sounds like your machine is set up properly, so try talking to whomever controls other equipment between you and the general internet.
