Question:
Limewire and Vista.....
I can't get Limewire to work. There seems to be a firewall blocking its attempts to communicate with my network. Windows firewall is off, McAfee is set to standard but with full access granted to Limewire, so I guess it's my router that's the problem. It's currently set to low, the setting just above off. I port-forwared for Limewire, and the firewall icon went away in the program, but still it didn't work. Any ideas?
And is there any other way of getting Limewire to work without creating a pinhole through my routers firewall? I'm not sure I want to do that, and besides, I didn't need to portforward Limewire on my old laptop, even when I was running a Norton firewall as well and granted Limewire access, and it worked just fine.

Try FrostWire. I know it works with Vista and it's as good as (and in many cases better than) Limewire anyways. It's not exactly a fix, but that's the best advice I can give.

Just bumping this bit. I'm concerned about giving people access to my network by overtly creating a pinhole for Limewire. Your thoughts?

In Limewire you can go to advanced options and set up a proxy.
Answer:
Re: Limewire and Vista.....
Without a proxy, no; anyone sending/receiving info to/from your computer can see your ip.

How do you set up a proxy then? Can somebody with knowledge leave detailed knowledge about how to bypass your routers firewall with Limewire and mask your IP and other settings from the world?
