Question Posted Friday February 15 2008, 6:34 pm

Limewire won't connect to the internet [even though there is an internet connection]. I think they're a problem with my firewall! Is there any way to shut it off for a time? Or is there any way i can make my limewire work? Because i can't search any songs.

Thanks!

Don't listen to WittyUserNameHere. Firewalls are almost completely useless and limewire is not malware.

Go to start, run. Type:
firewall.cpl
Select "disable firewall". Don't worry, this doesn't affect your security much. Limewire should now work.

If limewire still doesn't work, it's a router issue. You'll need to contact the computer expert in your household to fix this. I can't explain it because I can't see your setup.

Repeat.

Do not shut off your firewall!

There is a reason limewire is blocked by your firewall. Its because limewire is defined as spyware and introduces malicious code into your computer.

Limewire is going to turn your hard drive into a virus play ground. I would reccomend uninstalling it asap.

Learn to torrent.
