I tried the help links given, but no luck.
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98). Vista, and I can access the admin account
2. What firewalls you have? Trend Micro
3. How much ram? 2GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 42.5 GB at least
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Wireless broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from? home
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 ones, I upgraded Java today and downloaded LW today as well
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? SpinNet
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? The connection times out "The server at www3.limewire.com is taking too long to respond."
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? no
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. first try with this computer
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?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Trend Micro
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). Australia
Did you click on the link (If LW will not connect) and try the fixes as I asked earlier-- if not pse do it now -- also check your add/remove programs -- you should only have 1 entry of java if more than 1 delete/remove the older version -- make sure that you have made an exception in your firewall for limewire -- also your para 10 in system details is abit of a worry -- let me know how you get on

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.
