From the bug report:
" Received incoming this session: false "
That means LW detects a firewall. What security programs do you have installed on your computer?? It can't be from your modem, since it is an onboard modem (if I remember correctly; and I think they don't have built-in firewalls).

i dnt have any programs with a firewall, well not that i know of anyway,does winzip have a firewall?

Winzip doesn't have a firewall; it is a program to compress/decompress files.
I 've gone through your bug report once more; the listening port is 2661 and not 48821 as you said in your post.
Possible programs with firewall are McAfee, Norton, AOL, to name a view.
Here is an example of my bug report:

Do you have any of those programs mentioned above on your computer?
The firewall problem must originate from somewhere...

hi,iv tryed to find the source of my firewall but i cant find it,i tryed downloading kazaa just to see if it worked and the same thing happens with that it wont connect, this is stupid now theres got to be a way to get my limewire working surely?is having a grey limewire icon in your system tray normal? cheers

??

No, a grey icon is not normal (only if you have some graphic card issue).
I'm quite confused with your problem and I believe that there is somewhere an information (which you might think has nothing to do with LW) that we havn't heard so far and being the possible reason for your problem.

Try one more thing; right click the LW icone on your desktop, go to properties and then to Compatibility. There you change to Compatibility to either Windows 2000 or Windows NT (try one after the other if the first doesn't work out).

Did you have any installation of programs, updates of programs or added hardware to your computer prior to LW not more working??
