I was using lime wire and one day just stopped to connect i just have one bar of connection.
I never change my configuration.
Reading the help files i turned off the fire wall but lime wire still shows wall in front of the wall

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.13.6 Java 1.6.0_01
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Cablevision
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? i can't load the page oit says page can not be displayed

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

A couple of different things we can try here...
Firstly... Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....(4th one down)
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

No luck...Try deleting your preference folder...
Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should

Still no luck...Could you have a look at the modem/router (the one that connects you to the internet) turn it upside down and see what it's name is and the model number...

Also with your test page not working can mean that your ISP is shaping your connection now...CableVision/Metrocast are known to do that...

Thanks for the help.
I'll try tonight and post the results. Tomorrow you will know if that worked

Modem Motorola Surfboard SBG900i

Your modem/router doesn't have a Nat Firewall, so that's not causing the conflict...
Do you have this update from Micorsoft...
Microsoft's Security Update (KB931261) for WinXP...You can check in your add/remove programs..
Do you mind if I ask where you are from, so I can check your ISP out ??

Thanks I've tryed everything posted and the Lime wire is not working yet. About the security update i'll have to check

I'm from mexico City, how can i check the ip?

Cable Vision, Mexico shape p2p during peak times, so that would explain why you are not getting the connection..
Bad ISPs - AzureusWiki

You could give them a ring and find out what their peak times are...

I have the KB893803

About the cable vision i cant connect at any hour. If that is the problem i should be able to connect at some other time. but i cant

What security do you use ??

Try these fixes as well...

Right-click the Limewire icon and going to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version.

Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator. (but 'only' if you're the admin of your comp.!)
