I'm behind a firewall because I'm behind a router. The PC hasn't had any issues with Limewire, it works on it. The Macbook is the one I'm having issues with.

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? Doesn't Work
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes, a wireless router has a Vista PC connected to it by ethernet and 2 laptops, one an XP and one a Macbook, by wireless. Limewire works on the Vista PC, isn't installed on the XP laptop, and won't work on the Macbook
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Not my first try, I've been using Limewire for a while, but it is my first time using it on a Mac.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes
