only a little help
 

Limewire can connect for me but i only have one block filled (the smallest one). and it will not get anymore connection than that (1kb). i have XP and i might be having this problem because the XP firewall. im not sure.
If anyone could help me that would be great, thanks.

Have you configured the XP firewall? Also, make sure you're only using 1 software firewall
Firewall setup

Read through the thread below, it's got lots of info about firewall & connection problems! If you're using a modem or router, they have their own internal firewalls... read the sections about enabling UPnP & port forwarding. Do the port test & see if it works.
Connection problems? Check here first!
