Are you on Bellsouth?
 

I am on Bellsouth DSL right now (see time of post). Using Mac OS X's terminal I type:

telnet www.limewire.com 80

and I get

Trying 64.61.25.138
Connected to www.limewire.com
Escape character is '^]'.

So I know the internet is working. Then I type

telnet connect3.limewire.com 6346

and I get

connect3.limewire.com: Unknown Host

The same thing happens when I use router.limewire.com and the others. Did Bellsouth quietly block this DNS lookup or IP address or something? Unless the Limewire servers are down, I think that Bellsouth has tried to block gnutella usage.

Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

Thanks!

Confirmed. I wasn't using Bellsouth. This thread should clarify things.
