Semperfi Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Limewire has a port you need to enable to let traffic through so hosts can find your computer, also, Try downgrading to an older version, that might fix your problem http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=limewire Also, what kind of operating system are you running, XP, Vista, Mac? Also, like Accordman said, if your running your internet through a router/wireless router, there should be a online control panel you can access to turn off the routers firewall, most routers come with their own hardware firewalls.
