I'm glad to see that the technique is working for some users. Though it is very surprising that the fix is not as general purpose as I thought it would be.
Hello,
1. Sometimes my firewall icon is on top of the blue world icon which prevents a connection in Limewire.
2. I don't want to totally disable my firewall (I think it is from Norton Anti-virus maybe?) as it protects my computer.
3. How do I allow limewire past the firewall as like a "trusted program" without completely disabling my firewall (which would leave me open to viruses, ect..)
Thank you for your help.
Nick
