Hi, again, Dov...

I suggested the link for the Help File regarding setting-up Norton Firewalls only to provide you with a clear example of how to use the Norton Set-Up pages...

When reading the examples presented in the BearShare Help documents, simply replace the appropriate LimeWire files for the BearShare example shown...

Or... Try this...

Open the main Norton Internet Security page by either a right-click or double left-clicking on the Norton Internet Security icon - The bluish globe icon...

Then, click on Norton Internet Security

Next, click on Personal Firewall

Then over on the lower right of the Norton page, click on Configure

next, make sure that the 'slider' is set to Medium

next, click on the 'Program Control' tab up on the top of the page

next, under the heading Automatic Program Control,
checkmark 'Turn on Automatic Program Control'

next, look down at the bottom of the same 'Program Control' page and under the section headed Manual Program Control

click on the Program Scan button.

This may take a while as the Norton program examines all of the programs you have installed...

You should find that LimeWire has been added to the programs recognised by your Firewall...

Then, it is up to you, probably, to answer correctly the first time LimeWire attempts to connect with the internet... Norton will ask you about permitting and you must be careful to also possibly check a box so that LimeWire is always treated the same way...

Hope this makes it clearer for you !
