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.

Limewire won't connect to the internet. It's says there may be a problem with your internet. but i also have a wirless router can someone please help me out. i also have a Windows XP.

im having the same poblem as many plp

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!

WOW, i can't belive after a day of trying to get this working, changing firewall rules, deleting, re-installing it was as simple as this to fix it. THANKS GUYS ..... just wish i came across the post sooner :-)

Please someone help me i have been trying to get out from behind a firewall that i have no idea where it came from i am able to connect to the network but cant search for songs cause of the firewall thing and i have no idea how to fix it im using windows XP i have uninstalled and reinstalled with a reboot after each and dont know anything else to try i have also fixed my nortons to allow limewire and i got nothing

I have windows xp and a wireless router everytime i try to go o limewire it tells me unable to connect, also i don't have a host. IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!! 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.

Start here: If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link) If still problems post back those details it suggests at bottom of that page.

any suggestions for vista users? i keep getting "no internet connection." my firewall through norton allows limewire, but still nothing
