Limewire says that your router has a Firewall. I agree. But does it say to Disable the Firewall???. I have used Limewire behind a Firewall before and everything worked fine.
There is no reason why you should disable your firewall unless you are unable to connect and download files. Limewire uses some ports to communicate. If your limewire is not connecting check which ports its trying to access and open only those ports on the firewall.
If you need any further clarification please get back to me.

dont turn off the firewall configure the firewall to allow access to limewire, but be careful, you can get viruses and spyware from limewire. so run your virus program after every download. take care heather
