(it didn't take you long to hang out the washing lol :D It'd dry quickly over there I know!)

Thanks for ur help guys
 

Thank u guys cause i can tell you are trying to help me. I noticed its not my isp cause i know a couple of friends with the same one and they have emule, shareaza, ares and limewire, and it works for them. So its not my isp. I tried the alternative ports thing and it did'nt work. I read the whole sticky you gave me and i dont have the preferences folder. And the other solutions related to the isp wore useless. Please guys help me!!!! :o :o :o :o :o

Yes we're trying to help but you're not making it easy!! Please, if you could answer these questions

Do you see the firewall icon?
What are the brand & model numbers of your modem & your router?
Was this the test you referred to http://www3.limewire.com:6346 ?

You'll have a preferences folder.
If it's not here C:/Documents and Settings/your name/Application Data/LimeWire then it will be here C:/Documents and Settings/your name/.limewire
The green location is for newer versions. The App Data folder is hidden, so in order to see it you'll have to show hidden files & folders (within tools > folder options > view).

I'd be interested to see what happens if you have a friend with a laptop, they brought their computer to your house & plugged in, whether they'd be able to use their LW at your place. Has anyone ever done this?

oK, HERE aRe the answers
 

;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
1. No, there's no firewall icon.
2. Motorola USB Modem, and my isp did'nt informed me about my router, and i dont know how to find it out on my own. excuse my ignorance.
3. Yes, thats the test, and it did'nt work
4. I swear there's no preferences folder, i looked for it everywhere, i even looked it with the windows search. There is no preferences folder, i dont know why
5. I guess the laptop thing is an interesting idea, but right now i dont know anyone who owns one:p :p :p :p :p .

Well I'm stumped. Are you living in an appartment complex? There might be something within the cabling that's causing the connection problem?

Somebody else might have a better idea...

No, i dont live in an apartment complex. I guess that you gave up on me. I dont know whats causing the problem, and like i said i hope you can help me.

What fixes out of the suggestions have you tried so far???

well, i've tried them all, but nothing has changed, limewire still wont connect.
