Go to access restrictions and ADD a new rule
Untick 'Block all internet access'.
If you want specific computers to have or not have access to the service that's going to be blocked then add those specific MAC or IP addresses. MAC addresses would probably make more sense since IP's are too easy to change even for novices or just select all computers and devices.
Where it says 'Layer 7 (disabled)' click the arrow and look down the list for Gnutella (that's the protocol that Limewire uses) and select it. Click add and then save. Reboot the router using the side menu.
I've tested using the same files with the filter turned on and off numerous times and it definately blocks Limewire using Layer7 as opposed to simply port blocking which Limewire can get around easily.
