14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP is enabled
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? McAfee
16. What country are you living in? USA

I have tried port forwarding. I have disabled the Linksys firewall, and enabled the McAfee Firewall. I have enabled the Linksys firewall and disabled McAfee Firewall. (Windows Firewall always is off.) I always have the brick wall icon, and when I click "Connect" (on LimeWire), I always see "Starting Connection," and one bar. I have left LimeWire open for [seemingly] forever, and still no connection. Before upgrading to LimeWire Pro, I had LimeWire,, and all worked fine. Then I upgraded to latest McAfee Security Center when I got a new computer, and have been entirely unable to connect since. I have configured the ports on McAfee Firewall, and the program permissions lists LimeWireWin as "Full Access." Does anyone have any suggestions?
