im new, and big problem
 

i have downloaded the new version of lime wire! 4.10.5
i am windows user!
but when i go to access it,
it says "Limewire was unable to initialize and start.This is usually due to a firewall program blocking Limewires access to the interent or loopback connections on the local machine.Please allow Limewire access to the interent and restart limewire."

HOW do i do this
what do i do to solve this???/


any help would be much appreciated!

See Connection problems? Check here first! as your issue might be either or both your computer softw firewall & your modem/router NAT firewall. ;)

thats all a little bit confusing!
how can i just fix thisz? lol

Close your eyes & hope it's all better when you open them again. lol :D

These are basics of using p2p software. It's the same for all p2p programs. If you're firewalled, then you're going to have problems. The idea is to configure the firewall so it allows LW access. It's not really so hard. Take it step by step.

BTW if you were going to play interactive games on the net or video chat, you would also have the exact same problems except much worse.
