anybody having problems with winxp 64 bit os ? I have the firewall symbol up in limewire and it does not respond to turning off my windows firewall, antivirus , or the isp firewall ( isp is plusnet they actually mention the gnutella ports and allow you to turn them on or off ) when I do the test i get a " cannot connect to internet msg"

I am left with thinking it is either my router ( bt voyager 2110..it is fairly new so should be plug and play ) or winxp64 !!

so if anyone is running Lw pro 4.12.11 on xp64 could they let me know?

update ....bizzarely when I try the port test now ,it just worked !!! hurrah still got the firewall image on in lw booooooo

If using UPnP isn't working, try port forwarding...see if that gets rid of the firewall.
The instructions for your router are here

Don't forget to set up a static IP address first. Remember that LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded thru a router must all be the same number

If you're using a software firewall from Plusnet, you should turn off the Windows firewall. Don't run 2 software firewalls together, they'll interfere with each other. Choose 1, configure it to allow LW & turn the other one off.

What version of Java are you using?
