Read through this sticky
Connection problems? Check here first!

Make sure you're firewall's configured properly (only run 1 firewall). Do the port test & see what result you get. Read all the info about UPnP/NAT firewalls & see if this applies to your modem/router.

What are your details

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

How do you do a port test and configure the firewall?
I am using windows XP and have been using limewire for about 2 years and this has never happened before. I switch my connection back and forth from school and home. i recently just got home and updated it to Pro. I have a cable connection is sharing this connection.
I appreciate your help.

If you read the sticky it will tell you how to configure your firewall & do the port test!!

Can you answer some of the questions I asked before? Like ISP, modem/router model etc etc??? Then maybe someone can help you:D
