I have a firewall and I dontknow how to get rid of it.
Ive made the exeption for LimeWire on Windows Firewall... is there any other firewalls that could be on that I dont know of? And how to get rid of them?
Any help would be much apreciated

Depends on whether your computer connects through a router to the internet.
Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls 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. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
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 have the same problem - that the message i get says firewall problem- but i am computer illiterate and i have not been able to connect to limewire at all. can someone please help me to connect?

foolofthehill & everyone else needs answers to the questions if you want as accurate help as we can give!

It's time for me to watch my favourite soap about how america is bomshaded taken over by the muslim extremists. All non-white loyalists to ALLAH, the Moon God that shadows our life. Alias bugs bunny / coyote-speedrunner ! That's like having faith in the goverment/riaa sponsored spam is the truth of the world. What a great education for our kids to educate themselves into .. yes USA +more + spam; treachory, & better known as terrorists in "many" parts of the world!

What do you expect? Bush couldn't find his a$$ with a compass... Git er done:

Okay, follow the link here and check on the first link in this thread and also the sixth link.
Do as advised there, especially in regard to configurating your firewall. Also consider changing the listening port to a higher range, lets say 64049 or 47058.
LW sometimes need quite some time to adapt the changes (i.e. until the brickwall disappears in front of the small globe in the bottom left corner) Can be anything from2 -60 minutes.
So be patient...
