2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall, ZoneAlarm

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. The latest, just downloaded.
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Most Likely ATT
10. 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? Yes test says it worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No..
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've used it plenty times before.
