I have spent the last hour or more trying to figure out why I cannot get anything to download once Iv'e set up limewire.

My computer is a brand new HP slimline desktop, and I do have the whole 2006 Norton Internet Security set up.

I do have the firewall thing blocking the globe on the main screen of limewire, and I did check my Norton and it says PERMIT ALL under limewire. I am not very computer literate so I would love any other options that are easily explainable.

I read some things about changing ports and such but have no idea what that means. Any help would be great considering I bought my ipod on the basis of being able to use this site. Thank You

Try googling your modem/router. A lot of these problems seem connected to internal NAT Firewalls within these.

OttifantSir is on the right track! ;) :) See post 2 of this thread: Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)
