I've just downloaded, and moved to, LW 4.9 PRO.

When hovering my mouse over one of the bottom icons during the load process, it shows the message "Limewire has detected a firewall". Once the program has fully loaded, the icon changes and the message shows "Limewire has not detected a firewall".

The program works fine, but as I have ZoneAlarm on my system, it is a little worrying.

Thinking about it, I would have expected ZoneAlarm to pop up telling me that the program had changed, but it didn't. I checked the program entries in ZoneAlarm and LW is listed three times, presumably for different versions, but it's all a bit confusing to me.

Anyone have any ideas please?

From what I've been told, firewalls tend to pop up every now and then. I've had them before and it didn't affect the way I downloaded things. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I've never had problems with it.

Thanks for the reply CyberStalker but I don't think it puts an answer to the question in hand. I have ZoneAlarm loaded on my system, and what concerns me is that Lw doesn't seem to recognise it as being there.

The icon that I'm talking about is next to the connection rate, and looks to me like a blue globe.

I'm used to ZA popping up at regular intervals. Although often annoying, the reason is usually clear to see. More to the point, on this occasion, was the fact that it didn't pop up when the new version of Lw was run for the first time.

Is there a member of the Lw team reading here, who can tell me what Lw is looking for to identify the presence of a firewall?

Thanks for any help.

I was aware of what you were talking about. Every morning when I open up LimeWire about 90% of the time there's a brick wall in front of the globe.

Apologies if I misunderstood your response. I guess I'm really trying to find assurance that ZoneAlarm is still doing its job for me. Perhaps I should try the ZA forum.

Regards.
