Can someone tell me why I can connect using dial up but not cable? I have gone into options/speed and made sure that I had cable chosen for my connection and it wouldn't work. I went back in and changed it to dial up and used my AOL connection and Limewire booted right up. I went back to switch everything over to cable again.. and now it won't work. If I can't resolve the problem I am going to uninstall LimeWire b/c I would prefer not to use my dial up connection in order to download.

Who is your cable ISP? Some ISP's block file shareing/Gnutella.

theres a thread around here somewhere trying to list the ISP's that block P2P ports...
IF that is the problem u can beat it...look here
is there a router/firewall in ur LAN/cable connection?
u can fix that too...see here
dont give up too easy, sharing IS worth it

I notice you're using a proxy .. so did you configure LW to handle that? After moving to cable did you change your speed settings within LW. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; Windows instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire
