Hi guys, first post!

I am a Win Vista Prem user and I am trying to use Limewire 4.12.14, I've never had problems when using it on XP but for some reason, Zone Alarm (which I've also used on XP) doesnt allow it any access to the network.

I tried going to L/W tools/options/advanced and getting the port number and try to add an exception on the firewall but as I am a 'free' user of Zone Alarm I dont have these privilages.

Can anyone else give me any further help? Cheers guys
