Exceptions
Sadly, the Windows firewall does very little, if anything, to help protect your computer. Of the 25 recognized firewall tests - Windows firewall passed none. Think of a firewall as having a security guard on every door and window of your home. That security guard only lets the people you allow to enter or leave. It is a good idea to have a firewall, just it is not a good idea to depend on the windows firewall, there are much better free ones available on the Internet.
Windows xp, vista, and 7: Open controle panel, Windows firewall, and down by the bottom there should be allowed program, or allow Programs through firewall, click that and check the programs you want, and uncheck the ones you don't!

To unblock the firewall in LimeWire or FrostWire, you need to configure your firewall settings to allow these applications through. Go to your firewall settings (either Windows Firewall or any third-party firewall software) and add LimeWire or FrostWire to the list of allowed programs. Ensure that both incoming and outgoing connections are permitted for these applications. After making these changes, restart the application for the settings to take effect.
