red light, green ligh, red help
 

so i connect 4 like a sec then the light thingy goed red again. do i need to type in a connection? u know host status message bandwith ect on the connection tab? and if so what do i write and where can i find it?
i have a mac ibook v. new and its osx i think cause its new. I have just down loaded lime a month ago so i dont think i need a newer version. I have dsl through a router.
I am computer retarded so i need help! Also what the hell is fire wall ?

The newest version is shown as 3.4.7 (it might even be 3.4.8). Lots of changes in the last month.

LW should try to connect to others automatically (You can watch connections attempted in the View Menu->Show/Hide->Connections

Your iBook has a built-in firewall which blocks many kinds of internet connections. click on Apple Menu->System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall->New->to get at the pop-up list and choose the one that says "Gnutella/Limewire (6346)"

If you have a new iBook, you should also run the System Preference "Software Update." As a new owner, you should still have access to the 60 day(?) free AppleCare toll-free support.

You can check which version of OSX you are using in the Apple Menu->About this Mac.

If you are out of free support with Apple and want to know more about making sure your system is running well, http://www.macattorney.com/tutorial.html is a pretty good reference.

I am also having connection problems. I have a G4 dual 1.25g and haved just about everything I can think of but nothing seems to work. In my system preferences>sharing I have looked for the Limewire port, but I do not appear to have one. Should I have? And if not what else can I try?

any help will be greatly appreciated

Which system are you using? (Apple Menu->About this Mac) The Sharing in System Preference has three tabs (one for firewall) in OS 10.2.6
