connection promblems

[EaglesFan]

I'm getting 2 messages that pop up all the time.

1st one..
Limewire was unable to set up a port to listen for incoming connections. Some features of Limewire may not work as expected.
Then when I search something...
Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results untill you are fully connected to the network.

Do this simple test & go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ What happens? You should see a page that says Test page was a success.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version, 2. What firewalls you have, 3. ram, 4. HDD space available, 5. Connection type, 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers, 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

1. You'll need to configure your firewalls to allow LW & Java full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

2. Update your Java: Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

3. Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire OR Windows 98 / ME: Your .limewire folder is in "C:\My Documents"

What happened when you visited that site I gave you in my 1st post?
