Ok still tinkering ..

while in the library.. tab.. I looked at the lower left hand of the page.. near the bar's.. that show connection.. the next box over had.. a brick wall looking icon.. when I clicked on it 4 options came up .. and it said my fire wall was on..

I clicked on the item and the firewall aparantly went off..

I thougth I had read enuff and selected to "un block" lime wire from my fire wall .. thinking this may be what is happening to other users.. too .. and this may be why.. there are somany complaints about users not sharing..

and that possiblly there needs to be a post .. to advise all users to check thi s item..


AHHHAA because .. now only after a few minutes.. it shows that once 0/0 up load tab . now has several up loads in it already.. and the once brick looking icon for the fire wall has.. and item sharing 3,343 files..

well it looks like i dodled around enough to get the file sharing working .. but honestly .. I went to configure this more than 5 times.. and only ... when I clicked on the lower left tinie tiny little block.. did it change for me..

I hope other users will find this help ful.. and maybe there will be a better installation.. process.. or directions to the new user.. to check this box specifically.. to ensure .. that we play well with others on this great utility..

still has ?? on connectivity.. or why i was getting my inter net shut down when using LW ?? could this have some thing to do with the firewall? could my firewall have been shutting down the connection when some one tried to axcess a file of mine?
