I downloaded Limewire. I turned off my internet firewall and proceeded to download. After doing so I tried to do a audio search and it said that I was behind a firewall or my router would not directly connect. Any suggestions to get around this situation? I tried connections but it wants a host and port. I don't know the number to the host? Can someone please help.

The good news is, it can be fixed! It happened to me when I got my first version about two years ago. Unfortunatey, its been so long ago I dont remember how I fixed the problem. I did so many things, ie.. settings, options, firewalls etc..I cant remember waht worked! I just joined the forum tonight btw. I've got some problems as well, but first you have to get connected! I've been browsing topics and I seen yours. I feel your pain and frustration trust me. Hang in there, I'm sure help will come soon! Good luck
