2. What firewalls you have?I think from Norton
3. How much ram?448 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? I honestly don't know

7. Where are you trying to connect from? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW:4.12.6 Java:1.5.0_03
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?Adelphia/Time Warner
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?nothing...it just says "Your test worked"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? I think I am...is that like downlaoding from other people and such?
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user?It's my first problem that i've had, and it's been over a year.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?yes....almost everytime I open it up.I play around with my security settings and once in a while this thing will become green.
