Tenzen is flying high
Default

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows XP Home Edition
2. What firewalls you have? none active (though LimeWire insists there's one)
3. How much ram? 1 GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 13.2 GB out of 80 GB (damn, gotta start freeing up some space there!)
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G v2
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 4.13.8 Pro/Java 1.6.0_01
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast
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 "Your test 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. It's happened before I think. It was going Turbo Connected before but now it's just Fair Connection and won't give any search results.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, I've always seen it even though I don't have any software or Windows firewalls turned on.

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? port forwarding
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0
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). USA

Thanks in advance!
