We just got a new ISP at my house, and apparently Limewire is getting blocked by a firewall now. I guess it's probably a router firewall (right?) since nothing has changed on my computer since the switch. Can anybody explain how to allow limewire to work through this?

Yeah, I can't actually figure it out, all that it says is that I'm being blocked by a firewall. 🙁

what firewall are you using? - check the blocked applications in the firewall settings.

I figured out the problem - it's fixed.

I have Soulseek and others, but don't really use them. I don't download music off of there very often, just if I want only one particular song or two, but not a whole album.
