Tried Everything....Can not use limewire
 

I Have a Windows XP Home Edition Service pack 2 Intel Celeron D
CPU 3.20 GHz 368 MB RAM.......This Pc is less than 2 months old....
Free Space on Hard drive = 2.71 GB Local Drive= 62.7 GB .......Bottom left of Limewire contains Brick Wall in front of World Icon. says starting connection continuosly but never connects. I have read every forum for days and have tried everything. My ISP is not blocking, My Mcafee is allowing access and I have tried every manual port trick listed. I have installed and uninstalled Limewire several times and followed the directions after doing so. Can someone please help me because I have been trying every day for more than 2 weeks!!!!

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Sounds very much as you have a small brick wall in front of the globe in the bottom left corner; which indicates that you are firewalled and hence people can't download from you....
