For my 2nd question: where do you type in "C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire"?

I don't remember having a user name.

Thank you.
sometimes if you dont assign a username the computer does it automatically -- for example if you have a HP Computer yr username could be :- (Win XP SP2)

C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Owner/.limewire
or
C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Owner/application data/LimeWire

This worked for me with Windows Vista SP1. Prior to this fix I was dead in the water with a firewall block even if there was no firewall turned on. Thanks!!

Cool Wow!! Who else suddenly cannot get on the network ?

I have been using Limewire for years noe suddenly, well a month ago this Firewall appears one computer cannot access the other one still getting downloads even with the brick wall image. Now !! 2 days ago cannot access at all.

1.8 GHz PCs 2 GB free hard drive space. Switched Windows Firewall off - no use still no access. Modem is Arris, router site com. It was the wireless conncted PC that kept on working.

I cannot live without Limewire. Please help.

Yours,

Dr. Colin Clayton - and I am a Techy !!!

No good here either. Mine was ok (ish) until I upgraded to Pro. Cant get more than 1 connection bar at all now. Tried removing and reinstalling, made sure Zone Alarm is allowing it, but I've noticed that ZA is showing Limewire ver 1.1 etc is allowed but not the updated ones. Could this be relevant
