Here's the specs:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP

2. What firewalls you have? McAfee and the normal Windows one

3. How much ram? Plenty (this isn't mine, so I have no idea. Trust me though, it's a lot)

4. Hard Disk space available? Same as above

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Not sure...

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Newest for both

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? IE and AOL (ick...)

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 that it worked.

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. New problem for a long time user.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? N/A

If you have the newest version of Java, you could try rolling back to the previous version. Some users are having trouble with the most recent version.

Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 (4th one down)

Good Luck

Dan

Also make sure you uninstall 6.1 from your add/remove programs first...
