I've been using Limewire for sometime now and have not experienced any difficulties, until now. When I try to start up Limewire it sits at connecting for a minute then an error message pops up that says, "Your machine does not appear to have an active Internet connection or a firewall is blocking Limewire from accessing the internet. Limewire will automatically keep trying to connect you to the network unless you select 'Disconnect' from the file menu."

Obviously, my internet connection is working since I've found my way here. Plus my AIM works so, its not my internet. I guess its a problem with a firewall, but I currently have my Windows Firewall switched to off...i even tried turning it on and having limewire as an exception, but it still doesnt work. I dont think i have any other firewalls... I have windows XP and i'm on a LAN at my college. It has nothing to do with the college, it was working before and it works for other people.

Please help, assisstance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
