Woohoo, hope this helps someone.

Default I have it!!

I have Vista and it worked!!

Mine was clicked on "no proxy"....I changed it (to Proxy) then close LW then re-opened and re-clicked "no proxy " with the number stated above and it worked. Just keep messing with it and exit LW...when you re launch LW....bam!, firewall icon is gone.

keep trying this ,it will work : tools/options/advanced/proxy and move the dot from HTTP to No Proxy, and then I went into Firewall Config and changed the "Listening on Port" to 64049

if this didnt work..just chg everything you have clicked, close LW and shut it down...re-launch and re do the above.

I have Vista and Norton and the above worked...let me know if works!!

Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)? If LW's connected, try the fixes below.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it's ticked , untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If LW's not connected, try the fixes here.
If LW Will Not Connect
If nothing there helps, post back with your system details
