8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.12
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Cox Communications
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? Test works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've used Limewire for years, this is the 1st time I've ever had a problem, and it happened about 2 weeks ago.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, but I've followed the directions and put LW on my exceptions list

I have the same problem. When I on the connections tab, I see lots of connections scroll by - but they don't stay.

I just have 1 small bar...I've tried everything I could, tested the firewall, the ports, I had 2 versions of Java in the programs list, I deleted the older 1, I even had the older version of LW, deleted THAT, and downloaded the new version, but I'm still having the same problem. I have NO idea what to do now...

What's the name of your router? Add an extra space in the name so the spam filter doesn't asterisk it out.
