Recently I purchased a new computer and I downloaded Limewire it download fine but when I try to search for files it wont allow me to and it gives me a message that either there is no internet connection or there is a firewall blocking it. Limewire will search for a connection to get through the firewall. On the bottom the quality of connection to LW is low all the bars are red and it has the blue globe with a wall blocking. I have gone into Mccafee and have disabled the firewall there and I have done it also turned firewall of in Windows. I still can not get that blocked globe to be unblocked and the connection is still at nothing. I always have the internet connected when I am doing this and nothing seems to work. Please help!
