Hello friends,

I have a security concern. I often use limewire p2p software to download music.

By default it doesnt show me incoming requests (i.e. for music, files etc from others) which I can see once I click option 'show incoming request'

Now is there any way I can just block incoming requests?

I still want to use limewire for my outgoing requests.

I dont know what port limewire operates but I assume there would be way to block using my 'Comodo' firewall!

Any help would be great..!!

Thanks

Networkid
