Same problem as others... "One-bar-syndrome".
 

Yep, it's happened to me too. One minute I'm fine, next I can't connect - Limewire's stuck at one bar. I don't know much about my computer, but I'll provide as much information as I can :)

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? Norton 2005
3. How much ram? No idea (if you can tell me how I can find out :) )
4. Hard Disk space available? If Ive got this right... 13GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Wireless broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? No idea :(
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. Limewire 4.12.14 and Java 1.5.0_04
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? BT I think.
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. Yep. I'm using a wireless connection on a laptop which is also being used by my desktop.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Experienced user - been using LW for about a year now?
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
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. Norton Internet Security 2005 (has a firewall i think)
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).
England



Thanks for your help guys.

It sounds like BT is your problem they are known for shaping p2p usage during peak hours, which would explain the reason that you can connect one minute and not the next...;)
