Hi Guys, Sorry that I have not been here during all the excitment, my sister dragged me out, she was buying a new car...
Anyway Im a little confused with it all lol...
LW is opening fine now and all my files are shared again, but the firewall is still there, now I still have all the instructions from when I port Forwarded awhile back do I do this again or is there an easier way...

I dont mind if you use this thread to help others....;)
Cheers

It should just be a simple matter of turning port forward on in the LW settings. That's how it was for me. You shouldn't need to port forward again. You might need to re-open LW however after making such a change! I can't remember. At least try using the Apply button to see if it takes immediate effect.

You just need to remember which port # you have set up for limewire then enter it into limewire port forward settings.

It really didn't matter which version you used they both said basically the same thing.

Ahhh all fixed I changed the firewall settings in LW like you suggested, I just forgot to change both options the first time.....
So Im all fixed ..... thankyou so much for everyones help....
I bet you feel a bit drained from all of this...As I said before Big Hugs to you all ;)

Oh I did forget to remind about making sure the port numbers were right. Oh well... good to hear it's ok now! :)
