silverrage is flying high
Default Can't Connect!! Like everyone else it seems.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows xp

2. What firewalls you have? windows and nortons

3. How much ram? .99

4. Hard Disk space available? 75.15

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) cable modem

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? linksys wrt54g

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. LW 4.14.8 and Java 1.5.0_12
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? MediaCom

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? Your test worked

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I am currently on a laptop, I have a desk top that is connected to the internet as well

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I had it on my Gateway laptop. It crashed and now I have a HP and I couldn't get the free LW to work so I thought that if I bought the Pro it would work. But it doesn't.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?Yes

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? My Upnp is enabled and I have tried port forwarding. Didn't work

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
Nortons. I disabled Windows. I have LW allowed at all times on nortons firewall and I have even disabled the whole thing, still no luck

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


I have done everything that I can think of and I have been through all the other Topics posted and tried all of them. I guess I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions?
Thanks
