I still cannot get the incoming session message to = true so i figure its a firewall but i think ive done evertying .... please help

come on guys, how bout some help, PLEASE
ive tried pretty much everythin but i dont know as much as yall help please...

I had a similiar issue and I discovered that if I set my firewall to allow all I could download, but as long as it is set to Normal it was stopping me from downloading. Don't know if this would help you or not, but it might be worth trying.

Also, if you don't have PeerGuardian, I'd suggest running it. It won't hurt your connections but will help to keep your computer private even if you have to disable your firewall.

well the only firewall i even have is the windows, i dont have a norton or anything, and for the windows i Think that i have allowed it...
I allowed limewire program to pass through firewall and i also did the 2 step process on the limewire site that included adding the Gnutella TCP and UCP with the port and IP
not sure what else to do here
