Sweet One Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I keep getting kicked off the net and they're saying that it's because there's a firewall. a) what is a firewall? b) what do I do to stop it? Merci beaucoup tout le monde! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsBerry Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 firewall is a program that helps preventing your computer from getting hacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityandColour Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yeah, I've been having that problem a little ever since I downloaded LimeWire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet One Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 I think it started happening once i installed a new Norton anti-virus. I'm guessing it's safe to assume that's causing it. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBerry Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 If you installed the full Norton pack, the firewall might have been installed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet One Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 Alrighty, i think that's what happened. Thanks very much Denise! :) and everyone else! :kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBerry Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 You´re welcome :) If it´s really annoying you, try opening the program options and disable the firewall :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet One Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Alright, i'll look into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Yeah, but if you have a DSL connection or something else that's connected 24/7, you should probably have a firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityandColour Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Yeah.. I keep gettin' kicked off, and everything will keep saying this 'cannot be displayed,' bullshit, even though I'm ONLINE. And I just get randomly signed out of msn messenger.. Would this be a firewall, or something else? Because I've been having this problem pretty much ever since I got LimeWire..

Sweet One Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Thank you Brian! That's EXACTLY what is happening to me!! Argh. Signs me out of MSN and doesn't let me back in for like, an hour. Stupid computer. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityandColour Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Ahh. Well, actually, it only did that to me once. But it took a few minutes to get signed in again. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityandColour Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 But my internet connection keeps disconnecting. :angry: It only used to do that once or twice. But now, it does it like, four or five times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet One Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Yeah, mine keeps disconnecting too. Then it miraculously connects again, signing me back on to AIM and MSN when i'm not at my computer and people message me thinking i'm there. It's so annoying.
