I can only get the first connection bar green, while the remaining 4 stay red. I had this problem the other day and had to add a port in my security system and this solved the problem. Now, nothing I do seems to work. I have always used LW with no problems but ever since I upgraded, I have not been able to successfully connect. Here is my system info (what I could find anyway). Am looking for any and all suggestions!

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) WINDOWS XP
2. What firewalls you have? WINDOWS
3. How much ram? NOT SURE?
4. Hard Disk space available? 58.4 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) CABLE
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? NOT SURE HOW TO FIND THIS?
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 4.14.7, JAVA 1.5.0_03
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? THE TEST WORKED
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I BELIEVE UPNP ENABLED.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall NO SECURITY PROGRAM OTHER THAN WINDOWS SECURITY
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).
