Okay, first I'd like to say hello because I'm new here and this is my first post. In case I'll do something wrong, blame me, but don't forget to tell me how to make it better........

I've been reading here since 4 days in search of a solution to my connection problem which has suddenly occured, with both FW and LW. I pretty much appreciate the work that you volunteers put into this forum; my deepest respect !!!

Now to my problem. Having used LW and later FW for quite some time, I'm suddenly unable to get a stable connection to the network of gnutella. The problem started after a crash of FW and a error message, which my wife unfortunately didn't write down for me for review. Both clients, LW and FW, (of course, not used at the same time) try to connect, but stay put at 'starting connecting' with some rare occasions of 'poor connection' or even (like it would be my birthday) with 'fair connection'.
Before the above mentioned crash there has been no change on my system configuration (means, none of my other running programs has ever interfered with LW or FW.

Before I've decided to post here, I've run all possible tests and implemented all suggested solutions without any success.
To some of the requested tests by members of the forum here I'll post the results:

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.
LW 4.9.23 PRO, FW 4.9.37 & 4.9.10, Java 1.5.0_05 and 06 (had the newest version installed but switched back to the 05 since the 06 didn't seem to be as stable as the 05)
9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
TT&T Max Net
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
No sharing with anyone, though I've installed LW and FW, I never run both at the same time.

Besides those information, I've been running 'Peer Guard' and the Firewall from XP without any problems up until that crash. I regularily check my system with AVG Anti Virus, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spy Sweeper, Bug Doctor and Error Doctor. Besides, I'm running the BOINC client with Einstein, Seti, Climate and LHC @home. I had installed the enigma client for a short time but uninstalled it some time before that crash.

Any advice from your side would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Mario
