Default Firewall Problem..

Hey guys, I'm kinda at a loss here. I have Limewire Pro and T1 Turbo Charged Connection, I have my Trend Micro Pc Cillin Firewall on and my XP Firewall turned off, but Limewire still detects a firewall and I would like for a friend to be able to direct connect with me. What am I doing wrong here?

Have you allowed LW access through your firewall? Also your modem/router probably has a nat firewall in it that'll need configured. This thread is a good place to start for firewall problems: Connection problems? Check here first!.

If you need help post back with the details of your setup: System details - help us to help you

Thanks, but that was a little bit too confusing for me.

1. OS version? Windows XP SP2
2. What firewalls you have? Trend Micro Pc Cillin (on) and XP (off)
3. How much ram? 0.99 GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 25.6 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I'm not sure :/
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.12.6 PRO and Java 1.6.0
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Test Works.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Uh..It's a Consistent problem.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes...although it was off for a short time only to return right away..for some odd reason.

It's probably your modem/router. Check the bottom for the name and model#.
