Hi everyone

Been using LimeWire for years and have it installed on desktop and laptop. Have this weekend re-installed Windoze on the desktop and LimeWire refuses to connect anymore. I've tried different settings in the 'Tools > options > advanced' page but still I have the brickwall in the bottom left of v4.12, even if I temporarily shutdown the firewalls. In answer to your queries:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) - Windoze XP just reinstalled and fuly updated I think.
2. What firewalls you have? - Zone Alarm (on) Windoze Firewall (off) have tried both 'off' and both are fully set to allow LimeWire access anyway but still no joy.
3. How much ram? - 2Gig
4. Hard Disk space available? - 200Gig
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) - broadband via D-Link DSL-G624T & DWL-G122 wireless system
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? - oh, as above
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>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. - Lw 4.12.11, Java 1.5.0_03
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Freeserve/Wanadoo/Orange/etc
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 worked!
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. - Yes connection shared with laptop, identical Wireless Adaptor, LW works fine on that.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. - New problem, never had a problem with LW before reinstalling XP
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? - Brick wall but no blue world icon

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? - pass on this, it just works lol!

Hope this helps? Best wishes!
