firewall
 

I wiped my hole computer and reinstalled windows xp home. I did not install any other program. I turned off the firewall in xp and my router. When i installed limewire it still showed the firewall incon. why is this?

Did you try enabling UPnP or port forwarding for your router, as was suggested in one of your other threads??

There is no UPnP on my router but i did try port forwarding before but not this time.

Same Problem
 

I've got the same problem. I have a new system with Windows XP and I use a linkys router that has no firewall. I've turned off the Windows firewall but whenever I start limewire it won't connect and the firewall icon says I still have an active firewall. I've tried to fix it for a few days but now all I can say is HELP!!!!!!! Thanks.

billy bunter,
Rather than turn off your XP firewall, make sure it's configured properly. I thought LOTR gave directions for how to enable UPnP in your router? Well, try port forwarding then. Don't forget to set up a static IP address first;)

going nowhere
 

Hi, tried everything I can think of, also allow port permission. I didn't go through this trouble before. It's only 1 month ago since I've used LimeWire. :confused: Still, I'm getting the message saying my firewall is blocking the access. Just don't know what to do any more.:bangh:
