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 (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

12. These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.
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)

13. 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?

sorry forgat a bit
12. only have 1
13. your test worked

Test works means port 6346 which LW uses by default is clear. But remember Win XP has its own firewall so if you're using another, disable XP's firewall. Go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box.

To reiterate: 6. Modem & router "brand name" & "model" numbers?

BTW did you configure your other firewall for LW to have full access? Generally that means adding Limewire/gnutella/javaw.exe to the list, & possibly port 6346.
