Question:
I'm a pirate! I use limewire to get my music. Or at least I used to. It stopped working for me a few months ago, but on the same computer it works for the rest of my family flawlessly. I can't get any connection to the internet for some reason... any ideas?
theymos's answer:
Avast, hearty! Check t' make aye yer defenses be down, lest yer music be shot down by six pounders! Go t' start, then control panel, then "windows firewall". I recommend you disable this completely, it's not really too useful. If you don't want t' disable it completely, follow this guide on forein' a port: http://portforward.com/english/routers/firewalling/Microsoft/WindowsXPFirewallFirewall/AllowIn.htm You need port 6346 TCP open for limewire t' work.
Good luck pillaging on the high seas!

With that, I'm calling it a night, all.
