Not able to connect
 

I'm having problems connecting with Limewire

I started with Limewire 4.9 added http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml even though I have firewall disabled
tried removing .limewire with no instance of LW running. It still didn't work. Then I installed 4.8.1 and tried the above again and didn't work either.
http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ doesn't work
K-Lite Pro does not work either
Azureues BitTorrent works fine

1. OS version? XP Pro SP2
2. What firewalls you have? XP Firewall disabled, & some sort of campus firewall
3. How much ram? 512MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 2GB
5. Connection type? LAN off a T3
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? N/A
7. Where are you trying to connect from? campus
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.8.1 w/ 1.5.0_02
9. Who is your isp provider? N/A
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? I've tried LW on campus at least a year ago and it worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The fact you can't connect to that test page is a sign port 6346 is blocked for you. It's either due to your LAN network or school deciding to block ports used for p2p sharing.

Try some other port numbers. Go to LW's menu Tools>Advance>Firewalls & change the listening port to something else. Here's some suggestions: 3500, 1203, 20282, 80. Don't forget to press apply button after changing the port no. & trying out each one. Also, go to your LW menu File>Connect & give it some time to connect. Even up to 30 mins.

There's a port test page you can use but you need to have LW open at that time (simultaneously.) And I think you also might need to have that port entered as LW's listening port before you should do the test. Try here & enter the port no.: http://home.no.net/tgrumpy/ct/dex.php

I've tried all the ports you suggested until the dialog box pops up stating that a firewall is probably blocking Limewire access to the internet.

I tried the test page as well, and none of the ports work while the same port was running in LW. Here is the detail log for port 1203:

Data dump: v1.7,to=5,ipf=no,ip=128.205.162.130,proxy=,port=12 03,lang=en,el=0,php=4.3.11

(Ignore the previous error reason, it's a timeout instead.)
Close socket.
Done, return code: 'TIMEOUT'.

I just tried K-Lite v2.7, and it connects and works.
Any other suggestions?
