I hope I'm not being annoying by posting this since so many other people have started the same topic (however, the fact that there are a lot of these threads across all platforms makes me curious...).
 
As has happened to lots of others, Limewire just won't connect. It just stays on one bar saying 'connecting'. I don't think anything on my computer has changed recently, it worked fine last time I used it (a couple of weeks ago). Starting to get suspicious of my ISP! 
 
I've tried all the fixes I could find in the forums - deleting preferences, forcing IP etc -  to no avail, so here's my info: 
1. OS version? 
mac 9.2.2
2. What firewalls you have? 
Not sure, this is what I could find (but nothing's been changed & LW was working with this set-up before)
