Ive used limewire for years but i just got a brand new macbook and i use to have a dell, so i bought pro for my laptop before i left for college and now i can't use it. i have been sifting through these forums for hours now trying to find answers. The post above me is helpful but when i try to choose the gnutella/limewire from the drop down, it is not a choice even? what can i do to get connected and start downloading music? any help at all would be appreciated. than you

You can add the settings manually; see OSX Firewall settings for Tiger
