I have tried basically everything but LimeWire still won't connect. I have 1 bar of green and the rest are red on my connection bar. I have provided all the information I can below. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

1. OS version? Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
2. What firewalls you have? Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 12, Norton, Ad-Aware SE Personal, Windows Firewall (and I am not able to delete any of them)
3. How much ram? 504 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 13.3 GB
5. Connection type? Wireless broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Conexant HDA D110 MDC V.92 Modem
7. Where are you trying to connect from? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LimeWire 4.16.6, Java 1.6.0_05
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Verizon
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?
It says 'Your test worked!' whenever I go there.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
Yes, the connection is shared, I think, with another computer in the house. No idea what a p2p is at all.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user?
New problem with an experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
I don't know
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 12, Norton, Ad-Aware SE Personal, Windows Firewall (and I am not able to delete any of them)
16. What country are you living in? America
You should only be using 1 firewall & 1 antivirus program -- select the program you wish to use and delete the others -- disable windows firewall (open windows security center) click on windows firewall and select off. -- I cant understand why you cant delete (para 15) these programs as they should all have their own uninstall program -- Have you tried deleting them from the add/remove programs. For Nortons you can go to this link and download (Nortons Removal Tool) Your problem is your ISP -- see this link re yr ISP verizon (ISP's known to block P2p) Also have a look at this link (A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire)
