Default Firewall problems

Hi all.i have been connected to the network for weeks till lately,i was unable to connect to the network and realised that the firewall icon said that limewire has detected a firewall.problem is that im using XP SP2 and have unblocked the SP2 firewall to allow my limewire to gain access to the network.However,i was unable to connect and have already tried the configuration of the firewall solution stated on the limewire page.However i was still unable to connect and the firewall icon on the limewire still states im behind a firewall for limewire.Any1 can help?btw im using only SP2.no antivirus or so whatever.thanks!

Perhaps this might help http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools

Also, check the Sticky at the top of this section. There's a post which shows how to enable UPnP on your modem or router which might be your problem. If your device doesn't support UPnP then perhaps manual port forwarding is what you need.
