    For starters, why in the name of god do you have 3 firewalls running? Are you sure the Windows firewall is also allowing it?

    Are you doing this at home, work, college?

    One firewall should do you grand . You'll need to allow traffic through port 6346 (Limewire's default ) . If you're connecting through a router (another firewall there) you'll need to forward the port . Make sure your antivirus is up to date (only use one !) - chances are you'll need it . Nothing borks a computer quicker than Limewire and pron sites .

    Hehe Hogzy, firewalls aren't like beers my man!. :D

    I'd uninstall a couple of those firewalls from that fort knox PC you got going,
    chances are they are recognizing Limewire as a security risk, particularly if you have Windows defender / Norton installed.

    If that's the three, then don't uninstall the router... that would be bad IMO. I'd go with uninstalling window's defender, unless norton isn't up-to-date.
