Unable to Connect to Limewire or other p2p apps
 

Help me please: when attempting to connect to limewire, i get a message stating that there is either no internet connection or my firewall is blocking LW's access. Obviously i have an internet connection, and I have set my firewall to allow LW full access. Any suggestions?
