this is simple... and i havent came across this in the forum (not that i searched through it all) but here it is.. go to start.. and then find your way to the control panel area.. then click Network Connections and then find your active internet connection device and rightclick it.. click properties and click the Advanced Tab.. next click settings for your firewall and click the ExceptionsTab.... then find one of the items that says File and Printer Sharing and make sure this is checked. then press Add Port ... file name = Limewire ... Port name = 6346.... oh and its TCP... THE END... if that doesnt work then i have no idea.. happy downloading...
