4: Click on folder - Documents and Settings

5: Click on you User Name (example: Chris)

6: Delete (.limewire) folder

Then restart limewire......it works for me.


>>>>>>>Ive tried this several times and im still stuck in the same position with limewire. I Try to open the program and i get a message that says " Limewire was unalbe to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWires access to the internet or lookback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire." I am very sure that there is no firewall blocking it as i have the firewall turned off all together. Does anyone have any suggestions of what i should do?

jesse14 please tell us your router brand & model. This might be the issue. Most high speed routers have internal firewalls called NAT. It's a type of firewall. Those (most) routers/modems that have UPnP should be ok.

echo2347 turn your XP firewall off (go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box)

Then configure your Norton firewall using this: *Configuring Norton Internet Security

Your Linksys router should have a UPnP switch. Make sure it is enabled!

After doing these things, open LW then do the port test again: Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ to see if anything has changed.


DDrew571 you haven't provided us with enough details about your set up to work with.

jesse14 we don't know anything about your set up so are we supposed to guess.
