nukejunkie is flying high
Default still won't connect in vista

I used to have limewire but recently moved. I uninstalled the old version and installed a new version with pro.

I have a windows firewall and also a norton firewall. Both are turned off to run LW but LW still shows a firewall. I've been in the FAQ page but still can't get LW around the firewall.

EDIT: I found a way around the firewall but still can't get a connection. I go to connect and all it does is sit at one bar and says starting connection but never connects. it just boots me off. what am I doing wrong? any clues?

someone please help?
