I just got this new computer for Christmas, so I tried to download Limewire on it (it worked fine on the upstairs comp but im not allowed to use that one anymore cause i got my own). The installation was successful, so I thought I would be ready to download more music. When I search for audio files, no results show up. There's a little icon in the bottom left corner that says Limewire has detected a firewall and it also says 0@0 KB/s. I know that's because this computer had a McAfee firewall program on it before i got it. For some reason, I cannot configure the firewall to unblock limewire, nor can I disable it. So I just went and removed it from my computer completely. At first it wouldn't go away, but it finally did after a couple of tries. The problem is that search results still don't show, so maybe I have some other firewall on here too that I don't know about. I'm not sure what to do, so if I could get some help, that would be great.

If you're using windows XP and SP2 (most likely) in the bottom right of your task bar there should be a bunch of little icons...one of them represents your internet (either 2 little computers or 1 computer with a wave coming out of it) right click that and click on "Change Windows Firewall Settings". Click Off. OK.

Enjoy (I hope).

ok ill try

nope, it was never on in the first place and the "Limewire has detected a firewall" icon in the corner is still there
