8. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.) ? house
9. What version,LimeWire & Java, are you using. Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? limewire 4.12.15 and java is 1.6.0_01
10. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? wightcablenorth now known as smallworld(very small local ISP)
11. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? I get "Your test worked!"
12. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No
13. Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? used to have it until had to reinstall due to new XP account
14. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? Yes
15. Have you given full permissions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? I'm not too surehow to do it on avast, avg or zonealarm
16. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? Off
17. In Start & remove Programs, Is this update Installed, "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)" ? No
If Windows Updates are not seen, Tick the box at top of page, (show updates)

Hope this is enough info as I'm not all that good when it comes to ports and things related. Any help much appreiciated.
