 Connection ok, but firewall blocking downloads
I used to have a dial-up connection and didn't have any problems downloading before. Last week I went with Satelite Internet (Xplornet) and now when I start up Limewire it connects ok, but when I try to download, starts to download and then stops. I have been trying all day to download just 1 song. I have windows firewall disabled and am running Norton Internet Security 2008, but I set the setting under personal firewall to allow Limewire, even tried the custom setting. In Limewire it is showng a brick wall in front of the blue world icon. if this problem is to do with my new Surfbeam Satellite modem, I do not know how to fix it. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
