So does any one have any suggestions, here I am with a month old comp. with alll the bells and and whistles and can not run Limewire . I have tried no fire wall no window fire wall and am presently just running the pc tools firewall. Please help if you can...

Yea that is what i thought , It is quit obvious as the amount and same type of issues in this forum that limewire is not working very well for many people and if there is not a fix out there to get users back , another program will soon be developed to replace what use to be a very popular program.

I am having a problem with limewire. The start up connection has only one bar and there is a brick wall in front of a globe and i have already checked everything and no firewall is on i dont understand what is going on can someone please help me

I called Aliant who are my service provider and they told me my 6520 Sieman router does not have any type of fire wall , I was wondering this as the other 2 computers that my son's have are using this same router , they are having no problems using LW. the only difference is that they are using XP and I am using Vista. When I looked at my router it did not match the Router that I was seeing following the link provided.

Evidently your ISP doesn't know what they are talking about. Or you don't have a Siemens speedstream 6520. The link below is the specks on the 6520 and it does have a NAT firewall in it.

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?

Have been through this topic and have tried most things mentioned, Have changed Java, have deleted LW prefernces, have turned all firewalls off. Done a little research into my modem and read that it doesn't have router. Nothing seems to work can open LW but only has one bar green. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
