Ashampoo Firewall and Limewire

[widgetwilk]

If this is not in the right place please someone tell me,

I cannot use Limewire or Frostwire with Ashampoo FW, all I get is endless pop-ups, something to do with outgoing,
have gone into Rules/Edit/ and changed from 'use these rules' to Full access, and after I closed down, Frostwire started to work alright, then an Error message came up about 'blocking Port 6346'
could not clear it and had to reboot,

I use to use this program with no trouble, but what to know what has happened.
thankyou

Ashampoo firewall is very p2p-friendly, but also conflicts with some programs (some AVs can't update for example, because it gives you no pop-up at all...). I have never used Limewire. What i do with EMule and Torrent is delete all rules, then add a rule manually (i think there is a "add rule" on the upper right corner") browsing to the point the executable is, and tick "full access". Don't just edit the existing rule. Delete it and add the rule yourself. In this mode i never had trouble.

Also, i would reccommend disabling in options the "protect firewall" or something , because it generates many errors in event viewer.

Good luck.
