I downloaded Limewire this morning and had it working perfectly, but tried it this afternoon and for some reason it won't connect.

I am not sure if it is because of my Norton anti virus software. I may have clicked one of the warnings that prompted me to not allow sharing. I was wondering if someone knows if I can change that if I did click the wrong one.

Thanks
Scott

You have to allow shareing. This keeps your ports open for connections. I have got Norton Anti-Virus and have no problem connecting at all. Make sure that port 6346 is open and that your ISP does not block file shareing.

I'm not sure how to make sure that port is open, so if you can offer how to "open it" I'd appreciate it. I followed one set of instructions someone posted about deleting some files and that seemed to work for a while, but once again, I am unable to connect.

Thanks for your input deepblue.

Do you have a firewall or not? I assumed you did. And of course you have to tell me which one you have so I could try to tell you how to open the right ports and force your IP.
