| 590580 | 2007-09-12 09:28:00 | I can't get Limewire to connect. It is an exception under Windows Firewall so should be ok..... Running XP, Spybot with Teatimer, AVG, and Adaware. Where should I look because I can't find anything so far? |

| 590581 | 2007-09-12 09:45:00 | Are you using a router? Have you enabled port forwarding for the affected port? | Myth (110) | ||
| 590582 | 2007-09-12 09:57:00 | And Windows Defender. I confess that port forwarding etc is a bit beyond me at the moment. However it used to work. I have a hub modem and a home network. Limewire shows a wall icon on the bottom left so it is definitely being blocked. |

| 590584 | 2007-09-12 10:12:00 | Short answer - no idea. I only fire it up about every two months. I had a suspicion that Windows Defender might disable Likewire but haven't come across any confirmation of that. I think I'll just uninstall and reinstall. |

| 590585 | 2007-09-12 11:24:00 | Tried shutting down Windows Defender and then running Limewire? | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 590586 | 2007-09-12 11:24:00 | To solve your portforwarding question, go to this website (www.portforward.com), choose your router, and then choose your application and it will tell you exactly how to forward the ports. | Bozo (8540) | ||
| 590587 | 2007-09-13 02:03:00 | Thanks Demonhunter. I reinstalled Limewire but no joy. Incidentally my wife also installed it on her pc at the same time last night and it runs fine so obviously there is something in my system causing the problem. |

| 590588 | 2007-09-13 08:20:00 | Possibly something to do with what you were downloading was copyright material, and the Southland Law Society has placed some secret monitoring software on your PC Winston? Just a random theory... |
