Go to Start>Control Panel>Security Center on the left side of the security center pop-up chose Windows Firewall on the firewall pop-up choose change settings. On the settings pop-up choose exceptions. Un-check the LimeWire box the re-check the LimeWire box then click OK and see if that helps

I just purchased a computer with windows vista already loaded on it. I have tried to download limewire...which downloads onto my computer with no problem but, does show there is a firewall or I'm not connected to the internet message...I have made an exception for limewire in my windows firewall program and still not able to connect to limewire....to top it off I also am not able to use my att/yahoo dsl internet services as well...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP...I feel as though it was a big mistake purchasing a computer with windows vista as the operating system.

I tried a lot of things regards mc afee, vista and LW. The only solution to keep you antivirus and run Lime wire without problems is:

1.- go to control panel
2.- uninstall programs
3.- select mc afee
4.- uninstall firewall, privacy service and spam killer
5.- restart you computer and you'll be able to conect to internet and use Lime Wire at the same time as well as you internet explorer.

I had to call mc afee to figure this out cuz was been a pain in the a.... this problem and this is the only solution that they have for now until they fix those compatibility problems with vista, mc afee and LW.

Hope this work for you folks!!!

Apparently you are able to get to the Internet or did you make this post from a different computer.

*takes a deep breath* Ok. I did upgrade Java to 1.6 before I made any exceptions for McAfee (if that makes any difference). LimeWire is also marked as an exception in the Windows Firewall list (under control panel). Also, your not using port forwarding (at least i don't have to with my setup). You just have to find the "Listening Port" and mark that port number as an exception under McAfee - don't mess with the port forwarding. Hope this helps.

I'm using WIndows Vista Bussiness Edition on my notebook, and no other firewall is running on my machine, but limewire always says connecting. and it never connects what should i do.
