Do you have a modem? High speed modems can have their own internal firewall. Have you read through this?
Connection problems? Check here first!

What are your details (excuse the repeat questions!)?

OS(Win XP etc) = Winows XP Media Center Edition 2005
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) = Limewire 4.10.9 Pro Version & Java 1.5.0_07
Firewall you're using = I have windows firewall (turned off) I have AOL Safety and security center (firewall turned off) and had norton (came preinstalled then I deleted it)
Modem/router brand & model = Sprint 660 Series
ISP=Sprint
Connection type (DSL etc)=DSL
Where you connect from (home, school etc)=Home
Are you sharing a connection with other computers=No
Is this your first try with LW =No

I first wanted to say thank you for all the help, unfortunately I am still very frustrated. I called Sprint and found out that the modem I am using DOES have an internal firewall, but the tech said I need to set up a "bridge connection" so I did what he said, got back online and still when I open LW it says it is detecting a firewall. This computer is brand new, and I have used the DSL conection and modem with another computer with no problems at all LW runs fine. Infact this is the first computer I have ever had any problems with LW. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks Bill.
