Default Connection problems/Firewall

I am having problems connecting, it is saying that a firewall is enabled. I have went threw all the help pages and added limewire to be enabled. I have Teton Wireless for our ISP. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Start off by making sure you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured for LW.
Read this sticky, it has lots of info about connection/firewall problems.

Have you made sure that the windows firewall is off?

Your router has an internal firewall. Try port forwarding, here are the instructions for your router.

Don't forget the step of setting up a static IP address first. The port forwarded through a router, LW's listening port & port in the 'manual port forward' box all have to be the same number

If that doesn't help, try reconfiguring the Norton firewall.
