Connection problems? Check here first!

Make sure that you're only running 1 firewall & that it's configured for LW.
Do this test & see what result you get

Read all the info about UPnP & internal firewalls within modems/routers... does any of it apply to your modem or router? If nothing helps, post back with 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

Have a look here, there are instructions for configuring firewalls
Firewall setup

Make sure you follow the link I gave you & read through the connection problems thread. Then answer as many questions as you can from the list I left in my other post. Do you see the firewall icon (a brick wall in front of the blue earth at the bottom of your LimeWire screen)?

I had a problem with my limewire it kept saying Starting Connection.
i tried re-installin it and deleting the .limewire folder but nothing worked.

it started to stop working when i made an new user and deleted the oldone.
usually wen u deleted the old account all da programs installed stay working but some go corrupt and u hav to re-install them.

as you know limewire needs Java. just the other day i decided to download the newest version of Java. wen it was installed limewire worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so if ur connection always says "Starting Connection" then download and install the newest version of Java.
