Yeah! What trump said! Shareaza! Torrents are must faster than P2P.
If you have a router, you have to open the port that Limewire uses in your router's config page. If you have a software firewall on your pc, you should configure it to trust Limewire or to allow Limewire access to the Interent..
And simply having p2p software on your computer is not illegal. There are legal uses for these programs.

most likely its windows firewall, another software firewall, a router, or a modem that needs to be properly port-forwarded and configured .. it can also be some antivirus or antispyware apps that have "active" protection ..
