My firewall won't start anymore.

[jesimarie]

I have reinstalled limewire PRO and everything and I can't seem to get the firewall to start. On my security stuff it says its on and working but on limewire it says that it isn't. I have AOL security and firewall service. All I did was move the computer to a new home and thats when all this started! Can anyone help??

[wondering why]

Why do you want your firewall on in Limewire.....
Its best not to have it as it can effect your downloading....

I didn't know that I thought it meant more protection on your computer from the ones with viruses on there!

If you are further concerned, please let us know which OS and platform you are using (eg windows XP)

I hope this helps

Thanks I checked and everything for limewire is allowed so I should be good to go now. Does this now mean that people can browse my files I have on here??
