These are all contained within the sticky Connection problems? Check here first! but possibly some people are getting a bit confused or lost when we direct them to this sticky & ask them to provide their details.

Make sure that your XP firewall is off & that your McAffee is configured properly

You might want to update your Java, your version's pretty old Use the offline installer for JRE below & remove your old Java version before you install the new one.

You mentioned AT&T...if you're using AT&T, they might be part of the problem (even though you're on dial-up & your port test worked). Check out the post below

When you first got LW & could download...was the firewall icon there?
Do you see any green connection bars? Can you search & bring up any results?

So you think I should just wait a while until it comes back on? What is so weird was on all day sunday, the brick wall was in front of the globe, but around 7 that evening the brick wall wasn't there anymore! and I was able to download songs again. Then monday morning, it was there again. It's driving me crazy

I thought there might've been a typo in your post & that you were connecting through AT&T
If that's your computer's internal modem, it's a different story.
Did you check the setup of your McAfee firewall?
Who do you pay for your internet use?
Did you update your Java?

I have disabled my mcafee firewall, and it still has the brick wall in front of the globe. How do I update my java?

I just downloaded limewire and it says i have a firewall up but i can find it i think its from firefox but i dont know how to turn it off can someone help?

When u uninstall limewire make sure the limewire.exe isn't running in the processes under taskmanager anymore.
Otherwise it won't uninstall the .jar files in ur limewire folder.
In taskmanager/processes click on the limewire.exe and end process, then check ur limewire folder and delete everything that is in there manually.
Now reinstall ur limewire.
Another option is to get ur hands on the StubInstaller.exe, ececute the stubinstaller, let it dl the files and install, after install start lm and check the connection it should be running smoothly.
when u uninstall the limewire again, (make sure lm folder is empty) and reinstall ur own limewire it should be back to normal.

Go here & choose the "Offline" installer: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Then just follow directions with the installer. It might also be a good idea to remove your previous Java versions before-hand. To do that, go to Control panels, open Add/Remove Programs control panel & look for Java or JRE/JSE & remove. You should reboot then install the new version.

Ok, I removed the old java version and I update like you said, and now I got java 5.0-.09, and then when I go to open Lime Wire, the brick wall is still there. I call my computer company to take off the firewall. We uninstalled the mcafee firewall and then turned off Windows firewall, so now both of them are off. But the brick wall is still there in front of the globe. I'm starting to believe that LimeWire is causing this problem. My husband is getting pretty upset, since it's been like this for a week. I dont' know what else to do.

I still cant connect to Limewire. And Im really not loving the idea of Morpheus. Can someone please help me get back to limewire? I feel lost without it. Oh. Also, now that I have uninstalled it, I get a pop up thing that says a file was corrupted in the download. So I tried the other download for windows but it says the same thing. I keep closing it out but it keeps popping back up. What's up with that?!
