Try going to your control panel and clicking on the windows firewall. Then choose (allow a program through the firewall) in the next pop-up box choose (add program) then browse and go to LimeWire and click on it then click oK.

Uninstall McAfee and get a different AV like avast. McAfee is known to cause problems with LimeWire.

I'm just an average woman that doesn't know the "insides" of computer stuff, but I am so glad I found this forum. I have limewire installed on my computer at work (running xp) and found what to try to get limewire to work on my home computer (running vista). I have been so close to box my dang computer up and take it back to the store and wait another 6 months til all the bugs were worked out of everything! Thanks so much!

i already allowed limewire in my firewall, already allowed diffrent ports in my firewall, but finally i changed my port in LW to 6046 to 6048 and it worked.

thanks for the help

I just followed #49 step by step, and it worked perfectly. Thanks.
