Hello all. I'm in the same boat as Despair- I've been waiting two **** HOURS for the thing to get off one bar and connecting. So that I don't get the tech help mad at me, either:

Compaq running windows XP.
I have the windows firewall, with the exception... then just plain turned off. (Still thave the little firewall icon, though, despite a restart.)
My router is a D-link "DI-604"

My test worked.

I have used this program successfuly before.

Did you go through the "Connection problems? Check here first" sticky? If not, please do...there's a link somewhere at the start of this thread. It's better to have your firewall configured rather than turned off.
How do you have your router set up (UPnP enabled, port forwarded or nothing)?
Have you tried enabling UPnP or port forwarding?
Where are you connecting from (home, work, school, student accommodation etc)?
Are you sharing a connection with other computers?
If you're using SP2, have you tried any connections patches (like I mentioned in my last post)?
Who is your ISP?
What version of LW & Java are you using?

I have checked the sticky, I did so before I posted. I don't know enough about my router to mess with it right now, though. I am running SP2 and have not yet tried the patches, but my ISP is some generic system set up by my dorm. I don't think Limewire is blocked, as it worked earlier.

You might want to check with the school's internet admin to find out if they've changed anything since LW used to work for you. Ask if their policy re p2p has changed. If other people are using LW successfully, find out what steps they took.
A lot of, if not most, schools block p2p.

Ipod or Itunes question. Can I move songs to my ipod or itunes from limewire?

It doesn't matter...my FrostWire listens on 34704
6346 is just the default.

Has the brick wall gone?

I couldnt upload it here because the file was to big but this will give you a clue.
THE FIREWALL BRICK IS STILL THERE :O


Sleepless im a noob can you use easier english

How long ago did you finish setting up p/f? Let LW sit for a half hour or so, then see of the wall's gone. Did you set up a static IP with no problems? Did you remember to save settings after the router config?

If you are having problem connecting then it's better to try higher ports. Recommended would be the 50000-65000 range. They go up to 65000something.

I use 64049 myself and that works fine for me.

If an ISP uses port blocking or throttling, than they are more likely to be blocking the lower ports.
