Default please help me!!!!!

everytime i try to open my limewire i get a message that says:

LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a
firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or
loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire
access to the internet and restart.

I know it's not my firewall, and how do i allow it access to the internet.

Has LW worked for you before? Double check that you're only running 1 firewall & that it's configured properly
Firewall setup
If that's all ok, try updating your Java & deleting your LW preferences folder. See points 1, 2 & 3 below
Fixes for LimeWire

Otherwise you might have to look at a firewall within a modem/router. Are you running with UPnP enabled or port forwarding? Have a look through this sticky for more info
Connection problems? Check here first!

That's good! If you can post what you did to fix things then it might help people who're having the same problem
