Hi I am a new user to limewire and this site. I have downloaded limewire and the version is 4.14.7 the Java is 1.6.0-oem. I am using a Hewlett Packard Pavilion Entertainment laptop with Vista Home Premium. My broadband is Wireless Talk Talk with Netgear router. I also have ZoneAlarm Internet Security. I have enabled access to allow limewire and firefox. When I click on icon limewire loads, then sits saying enabling. This can go on for hours, but does not connect. The blocks in bottom corner are red, there is a brickwall in front of globe that says limewire detects firewall. Also says sharing 1 file. This is as technical as I get. It does not freeze the laptop in anyway and I can use other programes and internet whilst it sits there saying enabling. Does anyone have an idiots guide with no real techi jargon, just straitforward steps to try. Many thanks in advance. Sorry if you see this rmessage epeated, but posted a short while ago, it showed for a few seconds in the Connection problems screen then disappeared.

Thread merged...contains some system details.
