i have tried everything but limewire keeps loosing its connection after 10 minutes!!!!!its so annoying!!! and it takes my whole internet connection away too! then i have to unplug my wireless connection and plug it back in!!!! then the same thing happens all over again after 10minutes. anyways, it says im behind a firewall so i enabled a connection for limewire on my windows firewall and on my bit defender firewall. i enabled uPnP on limewire and on my firewall but still no progress, it still says im behind one! so i figured id try to set the connection ports manually but still nothing, and i dont even know my ip address. im soooo confused so someone please help. im using d-link wireless too if that helps.

Go through the "connection probs - check here first" link too... it's got heaps of info about connection/firewall probs.
Don't use 2 software firewalls. Pick 1, configure it for LW & disable the other one. If you tried manually port forwarding, did you set up a static IP address first? Were you using instructions from this site?

If you're still stuck, post back with your details

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW
