not connecting/poor

Ok i have Zonealarm as my firewall and i have sp2 service pack installed(firewall off)

on the m$ firewall i did the tcp/udp thing ported so it allows it.

for zonealarm i searched for all javaw.exe files on my computer (3 found)

and i let all 3 connect to my internet/server etc (green checkmarks)


and it seems i cant connect to limewire unless zone alarm is off too =\

also does it usually take awhile for it to get connected past poor?

Do this check: When LW is open, click Tools->Options & go to Bug report & click for an example. In the window that appears scroll down to the part that says: "Recieved incoming this session". (You'll find it about half way down the report page.) If it says ‘True’ then LW has no problem with firewalls, but if 'False' it does have a prob.

Also make sure you've configured Zone Alarm properly for LW to have access; see bottom of following page: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml
