Limewire can't connect past firewall on Leopard
 

Hello all,

I've in an Intel Core 2 duo, 2.33 Ghz, Macbook pro, running Leopard OS X 10.5.1

I can run limewire 4.14.10 but it says there's no connection and that there's a firewall.

As i understand, I don't have a firewall on.

Any help? - I searched the forums, but couldn't find a clear answer.

Thanks for any help

You've checked the System Preferences, on the first line is the Security button? That opens the Security Window where there's a Firewall button?

I have a desktop imac G5 intel core duo, and just installed Leopard. I had to set the button in the Firewall window to "Set access for specific services and applications."

What I see are three applications that "block incoming connections" and one (LimeWire.app) that "Allows incoming connections." Limewire works even through my wireless network without detecting a firewall.

Also, have you installed the firmware and other latest Leopard follow-on upgrades that Apple just released for PowerBooks?

Thanks,

I've do have all the latest updates for leopard, and have changed my secuirty settings as you said...however Limewire still says that it's behind a firewall.

Any other advice?

LW shows a firewall until a connection is made.

That being said, and since you followed jvg's good suggestions, the brickwall can also indicate a firewall outside your computer (like in a router or a dorm/school network).

Sounds like your machine is set up properly, so try talking to whomever controls other equipment between you and the general internet.
