Has anyone encountered issues where it will work just great somedays and other days it insists I'm behind a firewall. I've noticed this on occasion and I'm trying to figure out why. I originally thought that it was because I'm on a wireless internet connection that is available throughout my town, and therefore wouldnt always have a stable connection, but it doesnt appear to work period lately. Any reason why there would be a change, even though I haven't changed my settings?


My Specs are as follows:


1. what OS version (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) ? Windows Vista Home Premium 64, service pack 1
2. What firewalls you have ? Windows Firewall
3. How much ram ? 4GB
4. Hard Disk space available ? 320GB
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ? Broadband
6.Modem what brand name & model numbers ? Iburst
7.Router brand name & model numbers ?
8. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.) ? Apartment, Work, ETC
9. What version,LimeWire & Java, are you using. Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? Limewire 5 Free Edition, Java Edition 6, vers 12
10. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? Redwood Wireless( A Local company)
11. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? "Your test worked"
12. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No
13. Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? I've used older versions, pretty new at LW5
14. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? No
15. Have you given full permissions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? Yes
16. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.?
17. In Start & remove Programs, Is this update Installed, "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)" ? No, most recent is KB958687
If Windows Updates are not seen, Tick the box at top of page, (show updates)
18. Are you using Manual Port faward in LimeWire OR UPnP ? \UnPnP
