I have windows vista and for some reason limewire will not work. It says it cannot determine my external IP address of my NAT or firewall. And I really have no idea what that means. Help, please?

Using Win Vista and Limewire gave me problems too. I had to delete the old gnutella.net that was located in User/AppData/Roaming/Limewire, then replace it. I'm not sure where the new file is located. Maybe the Moderator will post the link for you. Keep at it and Good Luck

Try this, Pause or temporarily stop any firewall & anti-virus software. Then try again. Kaspersky is reknown for causing this problem. After installation, re-enable all security software.
