Does limewire detect firewalls that aren't there???

I have windows firewall turned off on my computer and that is the only firewall installed on my computer...

Windows security center reports I have no Firewalls on..

I have a linksys wrt54g wireless broadband router and I am sure I have the firewall disabled I go to firewall settings for router and uncheck the items listed, that is the only way I can see how to disable the firewall...

If that is the wrong way could someone enlighten me???..

But limewire is still detecting a firewall with a brick wall in front of the globe...

Bug Report Incoming session always shows false..

When limewire is telling me it has detected a firewall, is it telling me I actually have a firewall on???....

Because for the life of me I can't find one, I've tried everything for weeks now...

If there is a brick wall there, shouldnt it prevent me from downloading at all or would it affect the speeds of my downloads and uploads???...

I can download and upload and have no problems connecting...

My ISP tells me there is no firewall in my ZYXEL DSL 660 Modem (3.0M/512kb)
Sprint is my ISP...I have no software firewall from my isp installed on my computer...

That only leaves my router and windows firewall...

Sorry so long winded but I have been researching this for weeks now and am at my last gasps...

Is there a way of finding out what firewall limewire is detecting...

Thanx for your response...

You may need to configure your router. See this thread: Connection problems? Check here first!

I passed that test weeks ago...

I HAVE NO PROBLEM CONNECTING OR UPLOADING OR DOWNLOADING...

I just want to get rid of that brickwall...

Will that brickwall interfere with download and upload speeds...

The firewall does not prevent me from connecting...

**** why is it so hard to find out what firewall,Limewire is detecting
???

yea, i kind of have the same problem..well no a problem but the globe had no firewall because i had it port forwarded ect.. then i went away for the weekend and i turn computer on and the brick walls there...even when i do disable my firewall (kapersky internet security) and use the internet straight from the wall (as oposed to through the router) it stil has it so i dont know :s

What firewalls and router do you have? If your using XP it has a firewall also. Advisable not to have two firewalls on at the same time.

Have you seen this thread: Connection problems? Check here first!.

Post back with more info on your setup and we'll try to help.

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Hi HoLy.SHEET,

Didn't mean to imply that you were a noob or didn't know what you were doing. In trying to trouble shoot, you start with the most obvious things first and go from there.

Are you still able to download and upload ok? Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

If you haven't already, try setting your D-Link DI-624 router to UPnP.

Here's a thread that suggests that your isp may be throttling P2P apps: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...light=Optusnet. If thats the case try changing the listening port for LW to one between 49152 - 65535. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & see the option at the top for listening port. Press apply after making the change. Then go to menu bar, File >Disconnect, wait a minute, then Go back & select Connect. See if that helps.

When all else fails, try deleting your limewire pref folder while limewire is closed. Points #2 & 3 in this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=36420. Doing so will change all the LW settings back to the default. You may want to make a note of them first.

I hope this helps a little. I'm leaning toward it being your isp, but I don't know.
