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

I don't really have that much of a clue but this info will help anyone else who might know a bit more

Alright...

Win XP
LimeWire 4.10.9 Java 1.5.0_03
Windows firewall? Sygate's on my computer as well.
Wireless network connection from home and I'm sharing it with other computers.

I just came back from college, and I had to download a program to use their network. And I couldn't use limewire at college because that program wouldn't allow it. Could that still be an issue?

The other program could be an issue, if it limits what programs you can use! You will have to turn off either the XP firewall or SyGate firewall, 2 running together will cause problems. I'm not sure if you have to be an administrator to be able to change any Win firewall settings, that's why I asked before (you can change this from control panel > user accounts).

What was the program you downloaded for college? I guess it's possible this is limiting what you can & can't access on your computer, maybe it's not allowing you to change settings.
