Default Connection Issues

I have read many threads on how to resolve this issue, as well as gone through your technical support guide and still no luck. I still get one bar and the firewall indicator. I have port forwarded, I have turned off my windows firewall, and my router's is off as well.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP SP2
2. What firewalls you have? None
3. How much ram? 2048
4. Hard Disk space available? 300GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Modem- Motorola Surfboard, Router- Linksys WRT54G
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? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.12.15/ JRE 1.5.0-12
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? RoadRunner (Time Warner)
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? "Your test worked!"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I have the connection to myself, but share it with my laptop. No other P2P clients.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem, experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1158099342
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I've tried both. UPnP is enabled and that did not work, so I tried port forwarding.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? None
16. What country are you living in? USA

I have RoadRunner and have always had a good connection, but for the last week or two I'll be the process of downloading music and Limewire just quits. Any ideas?

polio1953 Hi

Try to avoid large downloads at peak times, or search at peak time, Then set L/W to D/L through the night, it may help.
Peace
