Firewall

[cheekies]

I am having problems with the connection to limewire all of a sudden. I had Limewire and it was running fine. I had to do some manditory updates and now its not working.. I have tried a ton of suggestions from this site and others to no avail.. Here is my information for as much as I do know about it.

Thanks in advance,

Firstly you could try reconfiguring your McAfee security, when you did the updates it may of change something...

Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center

If that doesn't help try Birdy's tips in this Sticky...
