 Go to Tools > Options > Bug Report > View Example scroll down to Received Incomming this Session, if it's true you are not blocked by a firewall, but if it is false you are being blocked by one of your firewalls... If you are being blocked could you supply the model number for your Belkin...

| The Received Incomming this Session flag was false after disabling the McAfee firewall and after disabling the Belkin hardware firewall. I also opened port (6346) in both directions. The Belkin model number is F5D8230-4. This is really stumping me. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Uninstall all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

| Ok, I set everything up to do port forwarding on port 50000 (static IP address, port 50000 assignments in both directions). I'm running Java 1.5.0.12. I deleted the limewire profile folder. I had the software and hardware firewalls turned off. And it still will not connect... |

| Can you try this... Save your 4.8.0 installer and download the latest version of limewire and see if it connects...
