WHEN I TRY TO OPEN LIME WIRE IT SAYS "LIME WIRE WAS UNABLE TO SET UP A PORT TO LISTEN FOR INCOMING CONNECTIONS. SOME FEATURES LIME WIRE MAY NOT WORK AS EXPECTED". IT WONT EVEN LET ME CONNECT TO LIME WIRE...SO IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THIS

You'll need to set up your firewall to allow LW full access (& only have one firewall active ... 2 can interfere with each other); instructions: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

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?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
