I am having problems downloading. I have turned off every firewall i can think of windows, norton, mccaffrey, and even my router and still the screen shows that I still have a firewall. Can anyone help. Itsdriving me crazy. Ive redone the ports and everything that i have read on every single one of these post. PLEASE HELP.

1. windows xp
2. xp fire wall , and router firewall both i am almost positive are turned off
3. cable connection
4. modem motorola wr850g
5. home connection
6. version 4.12.11
7. test did work at http://www3.limewire.com:6346/
8. i am sharing the connection with 2 diffrent computers
9. new problem experienced user
10. i do see a brick wall
11. i have no idea if i am port forwarding or upnp
12. no antivirus
13.USA

These are the questions im answering
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
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?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).

You said in your first post that you have turned off Norton and McAfee firewalls, do you have all of these firewalls installed on your computer...

What protection are you using, not having any Antivirus protection is not a good idea especially if you want to use Limewire...

When you turned off your routers Nat Firewall did you use the port forwarding instructions and set your port numbers correctly ??
Port Forwarding for the Motorola WR850G

Thanks for the help, i have followed your directions going to that link and putting the port numbers in both ways and im almost positive the numbers are right. I am still on a firewall and i think its because the nat firewall. I turned off the tab that says firewall, the part im dont understand is the nat firewall. I tried to turn it off and it shuts me off the internet. the only thing i can access is the router and it is extremely slow. so if you have any more ideas im open to any suggestions. thanks for your time.

Leave the Nat firewall on and then Port Forward....Did you also set up the static IP for your computer, you need to do this so Port Forwarding will work...
