I have tried every option on this forum, and nothing works!! I just got DSL today, and now Limewire won't work, and I tried to get on through a different proxy, and sometimes it would get stuck at Connecting, and other times, it would come up and say that I had a firewall blocking LW from connecting. I also tried checking the ports, deleting the folder, and changing my settings on my firewall. I checked the port on a website and it said it was running under Stealth, even when I had the firewall turned off....
please help

hp pavilion510n (don't EVER buy an HP, they're terrible)
os: WinXP SP1
modem: westell port adsl router model a90-240050-04
I run through a Telephone Co-op that offers DSL

any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

Try this one! Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say ‘Your test worked!’. What happens when you go there?

I'm wondering if your modem doesn't use UPnP technology. If that's the case then perhaps you should forward a port. You can find Westell here on the far right column at bottom of page: http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm
Steps are: 1. Set up a Static IP (very important or it won't work!) 2. Forward port 6346 or other port you can find open. 3. Within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.
