Their port 6346 is blocked.

A merger is in order then, thanks birdy!
(it didn't take you long to hang out the washing lol It'd dry quickly over there I know!)

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!!!!

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?

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 .

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.
