I'm having the same problem, connected fine to Limewire last week with full bars (brick firewall on though)!!. But now i have only one bar and can't search anything.

I have XP, using a belkin router which i have checked it NAT enabled, and Upnp enabled. Firewall from Mcaffees is allowing Limewire full access..

Also have deleted, Limewire preference file in doc and settings, disabled auto start up, but yet still I have had joy!!!

Anyone have any other ideas

Sorry more details:-
1. OS XP
2. Macafees firewalls
3. How much ram? 1mb
4. Hard Disk space available? 40gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 2mb cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Belkin
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house,
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have?

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? NTL
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? This works fine!!
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? Yes new problem
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
Yes

PLEASE HELP and thanks for replying

jaimekhoo...Your problem lies with your ISP at the moment, ever since the earthquake...http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...light=streamyx

cheungy...I need to know what the model number is of your Belkin, if you have a look underneath it the info should be there....:rolleyes_2:

Hi Wondering Why.

My Belkin is the High Speed Mode Wireless G Router 125 2.4ghz 802.11g.. I went into the internet site to ensure that it was Upnp enabled and the NATfirewall was enabled...

What we need to do is open a port through that Nat firewall as that is what is what is stopping you connecting....
Does the router have a number like any of these at all....
