Well I am having almost the exact same problem.

I'll give you the low down before I get formal with those questions. I've used LW for a few years now and it's always worked great for me, better than Kazaa better than BearShare and I love it. Recently though, around the last 2 months or so, it gave me the same red bars problem and firewall message. Now I went into control panel and network connections to disable the Firewalls but they were already inactive. I also downloaded the Java Runtime Environment 6 and it said offline so I think that was fine to. Still no results and I am not a happy camper.

1.I'm running Windows XP Professional 2002

2.None that I know of. How do I go about finding one other than control panel?

3.512mb

4.A few gigs, more than 3

5.Cable internet around 1mbps

6.I have a SMC Barricade Router (SMC7004VBR) and a crappy Terayon modem

7.Connecting from a house

8.I have LimeWire 4.10.3 and Java 1.6.0

9.Rogers is my ISP

10.The test says it worked

11.I have my modem connected into my router with one cable going from my router to my computer, one to my Xbox 360, one that goes downstairs to a laptop which isn't used very often and that's it.

12.As I said I've used it without a problem for 2 or so years.

13.Yes I do see a brick wall

Thank you to anyone who can help and I promise to send you a box of Ol' Grannies E-Cookies if you can help me out.

Thanks,
-Alen
