11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.1st try (Although feel like I've hit that brick firewall!)

Thank you & bhappy!

same problem!!
 

ive been combing the message boards for days now and have tried EVERYTHING suggested. I have pretty much the same configurations as the user above and keep being firewalled in limeware (i use the free zone alarm firewall). I've deleted the pref folder, downloaded the new java, checked my router, disabled zone alarm etc. :confused: im going crazy!!

has anyone come across any potential new solutions? thx!!!!!

Hi Bhappy, Looks like your router MIGHT have to be portforwarded. Not sure of the model # on yours but this is what I found. See Link.

PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall.

hope this helps.:D

Remoc;
I checked out portforward.com and it listed the ARRIS TM501. I have the TM502 so I didn't pursue the software.
Thank you for your help!
