Do you have both the Norton Firewall and Windows Firewall enabled. Did you configure them for TCP and UDP access for LimeWire.

But it is probably your ISP blocking/filtering ---- Insight

I read your previous posts.

Easiest way to figure out if LW is blocked: open LW, go to the Options (it's under Tools) and the click Bug Reports.
Click the Bug Rep button then scroll down to the part where it says: "Recieved incoming this session"
If it says true then you're a-ok.
False on the other hand is another story.

Default Hi Murasame.Recieved incoming this session=true

But I noticed that unset_Firewalled_from_Connect_Back=true.
So does that meen my fir wall is blocking limewire?I have my windows firewall disabled and I have my nortons firewall up.

These are 'identical' symptoms of Insight users. They've been coming to the forum in droves over the past month or so. Is your ISP provider Insight or someone else?

Another option is A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire which is using proxies. But that could be pain. NeOterics explanation is not the clearest but.

Default Yeah I read his post on proxies before

I don't reeally know anything about them so I guess I'll do a google search on configuring proxies and learn how to do it.

Likewise I don't know any more than is in that post. It can be understood if you read above the way it's written lol. If you do work it out can you post back to let us know how you did it so others can benefit. I suspect it will be popular particularly with Insight users.

Default I'll look into it.

This is becoming somthing of a quest for me to find a way to get around insights little plan.I wouldn't be suprised if in the future they start charging people for p2p access

I think the other guys instructions were pretty good up until the actual proxy configuration part then it got a little vague.But If he would post a more detailed example of how to do that it would be great.
