New here to this forum but not new to Limewire. Happy to be here where I see that people are actually replying regarding help needed!

Having major connection problems all of a sudden and my biggest question is...what ARE those port numbers I must enter, where do I enter these AND just how to find them on my computer...Do I need to do this if there is NO wall/globe problem? I am an older...way older and not awfully computer-literate, so it's hard enough being an older, without navigation problems via computer literacy added in! When I began with Limewire, I connected in a quick fashion. I have lots of music, yes, but like to continue to update my files when I hear new stuff I want.

....lately, I cannot connect. I have that feared disease...'starting connection', which ultimately goes to 'disconnected'. OS is WindowsXP, Norton protection, and my firewall shows just the globe, no wall...as Limewire was 'excepted' some time ago!

So...hopefully someone here can help me muddle through this.
