How do you turn off "firewall"?

Question

I'm trying to run Lime-wire, which I recently downloaded, but i when I try to search for a song, nothing shows up. I've heard that it is because I need to turn off "firewall", but I don't know how to do that! Can someone please help me!?

Answer 1

Go to Control Panel, then go to Security Center.

Something will pop up, then click on Windows Firewall.Now you can either turn it off or on. To allow limewire to run all the time even if the firewall is on, click on  Exceptions, then find limewire on that list then place a check mark on it. If it's not on that list, then click on Add Program then click OK.

Answer 2

First you need to state what kind of firewall you use :)
