Answer 2

To keep out hackers and spyware many users protect their computer by installing a firewall to limit access to their Internet connection to just a few trusted applications.

When a software firewall (e.g. ZoneAlarm, McAfee Desktop Firewall, Norton Personal Firewall, ...) is active on your computer it will pop up a warning each time LimeWire Download Client tries to send or receive data over the Internet.

If you deny LimeWire Download Client access to the Internet you will not be able to connect to the file sharing networks or search or download media files.

To avoid any connection problems caused by your firewall please accept all requests by LimeWire Download Client to access the Internet. If you make a mistake you can always visit the program control section of your firewall to make a change in the permission rules.

Windows XP

Windows XP users may experience a number of connection problems after installing Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Because SP2 for Windows XP limits the number of available connections it is also possible that most of your downloads stay forever in the 'pending' state due to a lack of incoming connections.

To solve connection problems and problems with downloading after installing SP2 for Windows XP please upgrade your system with the following patches.

Microsoft has released a patch to improve P2P connectivity on systems running Windows XP SP2. More information on downloading and installing this patch can be found at the official Microsoft web site.

After installing the Microsoft patch, it is necessary to increase the number of available TCP connections to 50.

Increasing the number of available TCP connections can be achieved by downloading and installing a third party patch as detailed below.

Download and unzip the third party patch
Run the patch by double-clicking the file EvID4226Patch.exe
Press the c key to change the limit of connections
Type 50 and press enter
Press the y key to confirm the changes
Press the y key to allow the patching
When Windows pops up a dialog to prompt you to restore the original file, click the Cancel button
Confirm your choice in the next Windows popup dialog by clicking the Yes button
Press any key to close the patch window

All firewalls are designed to allow specified programs to go through the firewall. Just open your firewall program, like McAffee or Norton, and configure your firewall. There should be a seciton where you are allowed to add programs to their "Allowed List" THis should allow Limewire to work through the firewall.

Answer 4

would help if u said what firewall u have.
since u would open up the firewall program by click eg start all programs then the name of the firewall u have.
then goto the section that has internet access rules and make sure the program is not being blocked.

Answer 5

Open up a port in your firewall eg 56832 and put that port as opened in Limewire.
