Hi guys, i am sure you are all sick and tired of having fools like me ask for your help but i can't sort this out! i have read many other threads and the FAQs yet nothing has worked. So, to help you help me here some info of my system.

Running XP home SP2
Got 1gb RAM 20GB free space and a +3200xp processor
I am running NIS 2005 and my internet is a 2mb line into a wireless Belkin ADSL modem router, which i then recieve wirelessly in thje room next door
When i try to connect it does nothing and the bottom left of the screen just says, connecting the whole time

Any help would be most gratefully recieved, thanks in advance.

If you're using NIS then it's best to disable XP's firewall since they're known to interfere with each other. To configure NIS to allow LW full access, see: Configuring Norton Internet Security

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?

Hopefully your Belkin router utilises UPnP technology. Wireless routers often don't. If not you may be best to forward a port for LW. If you do need to do this then you can find instructions here: http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm
The process involves 1. Setting up a Static ip (most important for this to work.) 2. Forward port 6346. 3. Within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.

Tell us how you go.
