Limewire was unable to initialize and start This is usually due to a firewall program blocking Limewires access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow Limewire access to the internet and restart Limewire.

I have set the zone alarm up to ask for permission - i have also opened the udp and tcp to 6346 and when i have run the tests in the various messages here the port is open and the tests have worked properly. What is a loopback connection? anyone -

i downloaded limewire last night and it opened with no problem when i shut down the zone alarm. but tonight, no such luck - that's when i went thru this forum looking for answers.

HELP!! have used bearshare but didn't like the spyware, etc.
