Fire Wall Problem
 

I am trying to figure out why after I have allowed the exception of Limewire with my firewall I am still seeing the message that limewire has detected a firewall on the botton part of my screen .

I have used the guidlines of Limewire in the options also.

if anyone could help that would be great

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have? How many do you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?
12. 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 am confused
 

Now my limewire is telling me there is no firewall detected but 9 out 10 times I am using it, it tells me that one is detected, do you know why It does this . I hate electronics they are so confusing and I even went to school for comps and they still make no sense LOL

Unless it actually causes problems with using it, I'd just ignore it. I can't see anything wrong with your set up. One thing though is whether you configured your XP firewall: Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)
