the list of reasons to use a firewall at all times is too long to list....let's put it this way, I've repeatedly said "I'd feel naked without a firewall up and running"....other's might prefer to use the term stupid...

P.S. Are you having trouble running Limewire with a firewall?

No problems. Just curious about running Lime Wire as an exception in my firewall progs. Should I be Worried? Is there a history of problems from running lime wire w/o a firewall. I know you can't direct connect behind a firewall, so, I was just wanting to know what some of you guys thought about running Lime Wire this way. I've noticed it's been recommended for connection problems. So, Is there a big threat?
