Default Firewall

I looked at other firewall threads and followed firewall instructions at this site http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml But, I'm still blocked by a firewall, and I disabled Windows Firewall. Can someone please help me?

LW might be detecting a firewall within your modem/router. Check out the thread below, it has heaps of info about enabling UPnP & port forwarding to overcome the problem
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're still stuck, post back with your details

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

If you have it on your desktop and it works there, then try comparing the settings in Limewire to see if there is any difference in how it's set up

Could you also tell us what the settings are for your firewall configuration ?

It's under Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config

Both for your desktop and the one that you have problems with
