The Problem.
I've filled all I can in, but my problem is that my Firewall seems to be blocking Limewire. As I've previously answered, I do have Zonealarm Security Suite, and I've gone to
Program Control > Program, 'trust level' has 3 bars, access and sever are BOTH ticked, so as far as I can see, it should be letting Limewire through, so I don't understand why when I open Limewire it only had one bar and says "Starting Connection"...
My Windows firewall if off, and I've uninstalled Zonealarm just to see if it'll work without it, and it works perfectly fine. I install it again and it stays on the "Starting Connection" status. So it must be something to do with the firewall for all I can see.
I'm really at a loss here, so if someone could help it'll be greatly appreciated..
