pretty soon if you keep saying "we CANNOT help..." we all will stop using your product!
It's readily apparent that MANY people are having connection issues using recent versions of your product and comcast. I would suggest you start looking into the problem and stop screaming at users...

btw
here is MY info
OS :Windows XP, version 2002, service pack 2

Security/virus protection : Mcafee Version 8.1 build 8.1.173 virusscan ver 12.1.110

Limewire Client: Limewire Basic client 4.18.1

Problem: When attempting to connect limewire client does not connect but continually says "you are currently connecting to the network...." however no connection is ever made.

My mcafee AND windows firewalls are disabled.

Well Guys, "sestey, and memyselfandi1975" I guess you should stop using Limewire then, LOL

First off, This is the Gnutella Forums, Not the LW Forums. LOL

Second Off, And the Funniest part, is that this is Not our Product. Everyone here that offers up any help on these Forums are Volunteers.
The Admin., Super Mods., The Mods., and the Valued Members are here only to assist members like your RUDE selves. We get Absolutly Nothing for what we do.
What we do get is a little satisfaction when some of the members recognize us when we are able to help them.

I also get a little satisfaction knowing that A$$holes like yourselves probably Won't get any further help here because of your Sh!t Attitudes.

If you want help, go here and Cry to them for having such a Steaming Piece of Crap Program.

Thank you SO much. This solution worked perfectly for me!

Hi. I'm not a technically minded person, but I'll try and give you as much detail as possible.

I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11
Broadband Connection 4mgbts (I think)
Frostwire 4.17

I have used limewire with no problems before but recently couldn't connect to the network. As a result I downloaded Frostwire but with no success. After I installed the program it trys to connect but comes up with the error message

"frostwire could not detect an internet connection. please check your firewall settings and try to restart frostwire ".

If anyone could help me that would be great but could I please ask if you can take me through it in easy and simple way

Double-posted. Answered in the FW section of forums.

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly. I can connect again.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows Vista, no user account
2. What firewalls you have?Zone alarm, and windows firewall.
3. How much ram? 1918 mb
4. Hard Disk space available?127.2 gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?modem = hp pavillion/a6200n router=verizon/6100f
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ LIMEWIRE 4.18.6
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? VERIZON
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? It says it worked.
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. no, it has never connected on this computer.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image yes. and iv turned off all firewalls.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I have no idea.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Zonealarm and Windows.
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). USA

Firstly, choose one firewall. If run two then it will result in less security not more plus other side effects & problems. Configure the one you choose to 'allow' LW in the firewall rules.
Make sure LW is not using same connection or listening port as any other LW running on same connection. Check this via Tools > Options > Advanced > Firewalls.
Check thru suggestions here (try each one): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html

I am not sure about the Verizon router. It's my guess they have it made by another company who label it with their own name on it. Example it could be a Westell6100. I know with that brand they are best manually port forwarded, their UPnP support is quite unreliable. (Edit: Google results tend to agree with my guess, your router is most likely a Westell, since Verizon also use this model.) If above suggestions don't work then port forwarding is probably way to go. Let us know if need further help then I will give instructions on how to port forward.

I have LW Pro and I was have trouble connected to the network. I was in a perpetual state of "Starting Connection"

After deleting the .limewire directory and restarting I had to set up my preferences again but connected immediately. You fix worked like a charm thanks.
