Alright, here's what happened. After 4 hours of trying to get this to work, I was able to get connected on the network. The thing is though, it was only working for about an hour before it decided to act dumb on me again.

let me tell you what I've got.

1. My OS is Windows Vista
2. I have McAfee firewall on, but I granted full access to limewire AND configured my opened port for remote access
Windows firewall is turned OFF. My firewall protection is OFF on my router
3. 894 RAM
4. 88.9 GB free disk space
5. DSL connection (Yahoo high-speed)
6. I'm using a Linksys router (WRT54GSV4)
7. Trying to connect from my house.
8. Limewire pro 4.14.0 / Java 1.6.0_02
9. AT&T Yahoo High speed Internet
10. My test worked: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/
11. I'm not sharing this with other p2p programs, but my internet connection is being shared.
12. Not my first time using limewire, but this is my first time i've encountered a problem, since I bought a new Computer that had windows vista.
13. Most of the time I see the brick wall, but when I connected it disapeared, I got disconnected, and it appeared again. (explained below)
14. I have UPnP enabled...I have a manual port opened on my linksys, in case UPnP doesn't work (wich it doesn't)
15. I have McAfee firewall on, but I granted full access to limewire AND configured my opened port for remote access
Windows firewall is turned OFF
16. USA


When I try to connect, the little globe indicates that I have a firewall. well, I've tried connecting using UPnP, but that never worked, so i tried the manual port. That wasn't working either. All of a sudden though, It connected to one of those "Ultrapeers" or something, I forgot the term. After a while, I connected to more "Ultrapeers" but that's it. No "peers" or "leafs." Anyways, when It connected, that globe indicated that there was no firewall. I managed to use limewire for a bit until it disconnected automatically. The little globe had a brick wall again. I wasn't able to connect anymore.

Any suggestions on what to do?
