im really sorry for asking you this question considering the stickys that have been posted. but i am completely clueless about how to take dl music with my firewall activated. in the bottom corner of limewire there is a globe with a brick wall and i cant seem to get rid of it. i did go to my firewall options and list limewire as an exception but it still isnt allowing me to dl music. there is also another thing that i think might be a problem...i have a laptop and am using someone elses connection. could that be why its not working?? i am so sorry for posting this but i just cant seem to figure it out. i went thru both stickys about maximizing dl'ing but nothing has changed. please please help me..i am so frustrated. its been over a week now thanks so much

Are you connected well (how many green connection bars)? If you're not connected, do this test (click on link)

If you're seeing the firewall icon, it's either a problem with a software firewall or an internal firewall within a modem or router. There's a lot of firewall information here
Connection problems? Check here first!
Make sure you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured for LW. Read through the info about modems/routers, there's info about UPnP & port forwarding.

What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW
