Unhappy Completely lost

I am completely lost when it comes to all of this...

I've been using LW for a few months with no problem, and at the time my house was using Road Runner for our internet. We recently switched to Frontier DSL and for the life of me I can't get LW or any other music downloading to work for me. I've tried everything that has been suggested in the threads (with the exception of deleting the .limewire folder bc I wasn't sure how to do that) and none of it seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'm dying without my music!

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire (Samples are given about how to do! Look further down the page!)

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If false then something like a firewall or router/modem is partially blocking your LW.

Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

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.
