Default Trying to download limewire 4.14.6

I downloaded it and it all seemed fine but when I try to run it it comes up with this messge :

LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire.

I checked my firewall settings and it isn't blocking Limewire, what else could be the problem?

Could be your router. Did you create an exception for LW in your firewall? Best to only use one software firewall; Setting up an exception for LimeWire in your software firewall (click in link)

Other than that, we need some more details about your set up: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

Using an older version of LW, you may need to replace the gnutella.net file, see If LW 4 Will Not Connect (click on the blue link)
