I checked my PC-cillin and changed it to allow LW through. Under the exemption tab the connection is ticked under outgoing. Is this correct or should it be incoming? I turned off windows firewall. Nothing has changed though I still can not connect. Also in LW the earth is still behind a wall. If I run over it is says limewire directs a firewall. I don't know of any other firewalls though. I don't have any other virus check on my computer. Would there be one in spybot or Ad-ware?

I think I finally got it working. In Limewire I click on Tools→Options→Advanced→Firewall then under Listen to port I changed it to 39720
And so far it is working. Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions.

Thumbs up Yay! It worked!

I have Windows Vista. I cleared the directory while Limewire was closed, opened it back up and voila! It connected me to the internet. Thanks!

I see a handful of posters who seem to be missing something & wonder why nobody has responded to their posts. Read the forum description at top of page. We can guess & guess ... like guess that a UFO came between LW & the network. Unless you supply the details specified we cannot help much.
