![]() Hello there, I hv latest limewire (basic) I dont hv any problem in downloading at all but when i click direct connect tab it says "your comp is behind a firewall or router and it cannot receive direct connections". Its confusing cuz when i move my mouse pointer to the "icon with picture of globe" the mesege is displayed "Limewire has not detected a firewall". I hv selected the recommended options abt firewall. How can i receive direct connections? other info: 1. win 98 second edition 2. no firewall as such but norton antivirus unreg. version with "auto-protect" enabled. (which i suspect to be culprit) 3. plenty of ram and harddisk. 4. connecting type cable and operating from home. 5. ISP- Globecast Connection not shared by other p2p. Please reply. |

![]() What type of modem/router do you use? ie: What brand & model number? Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? I wouldn't have though norton av would have any effect, but make sure LW is permitted to connect to the net if there's any such option. Have a closer look at the preferences & options of norton.
