You need to configure your Firewall to allow LimeWire full access
Give me some details of your opperating system

Disable the windows firewall and give LimeWire full accsess to norton this

so erm how do u do all that, as u can see im not one for computers, so all the help would be great, thanks.

Go to the control panel, double click on Windows Firewall, check the disable box. There is another technique depending on your set up; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...620#post178620

You do know where the control panel is right? Start menu > Settings > Control panel

sorry about this, and many thanks for emailing me, BUT it still wont let me search anything, no options come up for it, and there is still a wall in from of the world thing :S

1. How to set up Norton to allow LW: Configuring Norton Internet Security

2. If still brick wall showing, then it may be your modem/router's internal NAT firewall. It might also be an ISP issue. Can you answer these questions please: System details - help us to help you (click on link)
