Exclamation Not Connecting! Need help! PLEASE!

My retarded computer won't even connect at all to LimeWire! It doesn't even finish the searching. It always stays on one bar, and it says it's blocked by a firewall. I have looked that up in the FAQ on the LimeWire website, and I did everything it said. Now my Firewall has accepted LimeWire. But it still won't connect! It still says that it's blocked by a Firewall. It's so ANNOYING! It'll be SO CLOSE to showing the results, but it doesn't pass that point. It won't even show "Currently connecting to network" because it won't even get that far! I have a laptop, so I use Wireless Network Connection (Luck), and I have a Windows (the newest version). I don't know what's going on, but it's not working AT ALL! (By the way, some people say that LimeWire is illegal because you don't have to pay for the songs, and when you don't pay for the songs, the artists are being ripped off. Is that true about LimeWire?)

If someone would reply to this post with an answer, it would make me SUPER HAPPY!

i dont know about your connection issue , but the idea of p2p is sharing , and how does a music file get to the first computer , that person bought it there for some one got paid or obtained it over the internet though legal or illegal sources , but even before that how did that source get it , sooner or later it was bought or obtained for free.

so by the time it gets to you , you have no way of knowing so truly the origin . so as bad as it sounds its better not to think about it , as long as you claim a personal transaction , theres nothing if not worth time that they can pin on you.
