Not Connecting! Need help! PLEASE!

[WolvenSpire]

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!
