Alright, I just downloaded Limewire today, and it shows the firewall brick thing. I disabled the XP firewall, but it is still there. I've had Limewire before, and never had that problem. The only program that I downloaded between this time and my first time was AVG Antivirus Free Edition, which I believe has no firewall. Can someone help me firgure out how to solve this problem? I've read the site's page and many threads here already, but nothing seems to help me...
