Mend > Firewalls

Can I check what firewalls are on my computer?

My limewire program is showing that I have a firewall present, but I can't find where the firewall is. My windows firewall has limewire set as an exception so it's not that. I know that it's not my router or internet service provider. I have other programs that check for viruses and so on but none that I can tell have a firewall. Is there a way to check my computer to find out what firewalls are present?

Software, Firewalls Check Computer Windows

This may be a routing problem, most leechers (peer to peer) programs have to map specific ports out of your system. If you are on a wifi connection or a non routable network (behind another computer or router) you will not be able to use these programs at full speed without configuration.
If you are running a wifi router, or normal router. Take a look at its menu configuration you are looking at doing port mapping, somtimes refered to as port redirection or natting. This will speed up your downloads (SIGNIFICANTLY)
By the way dump limewire, go to www.utorrent.com (Much better)
