I've spent about 3 hours bashing my head trying to figure out where things are going wrong. I went through the 'sticky' threads and followed all the directions and as of yet nothing works. Of course, I'm getting the whole constantly in the connecting process, but never actually getting anywhere and it's giving me the 'Firewall detected' icon, even though my firewall is completely off. When I tried FrostWire it kept popping up with a 'cannot detect internet connection - check firewall' message, with my firewall still off. I've restarted several times.

So, here goes -

1. OS version? Windows Vista and I am admin user, actually... I'm the only user on this account
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available? 68.6 GB
5. Connection type? cable?
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from? apartment complex
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) LW 4.18 and Java 6 Update 10
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Cox
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? IE cannot display page
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? 1st try - just downloaded LW a few hours ago, been working at it ever since
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yep
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)? Windows Defender, Symantec Anti-virus and several anti-spyware programs
16. What country are you living in? USA

Any suggestions?
