Hello

I'm having problems with connecting to lw. it did this kinda thing a while back but I sorted it out (no idea how). this is a new version i'm using.
When i connect it says after a while "your machine does not appear to have an active internet connection or a irewall is blocjiking lw from accessing the internet.

i answered these questions...

My Fire wall is set up to allow LW full acess.

I did the test and got the message " Your Test Worked"

Please give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? winxp

2. What firewalls you have? zonealarm

3. How much ram? - 256... maybe or 512..

4. Hard Disk space available? – 11.5GB out of 120gb

5. Connection type? its broadband but it has a router and other people share the internet. Its a 256 connection i think

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? uh..

7. Where are you trying to connect from? home

8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version -LW 4.9.23pro, JAVA 1.5.0.04

9. Who is your isp provider? slingshot i think



anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated. it's getting quite annoying. I tried doing all the other things mentioned in the other posts, such as deleting the preferences.

Thanks!
