14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall :)
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).

We will try the basic fixes first and see how they go...

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

Try deleting your preference folder/s...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...;)

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...;)

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...
The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire

Hopefully one of those will get you up and going...;)

Ok, i tried the first 3 methods and i still cant get connected only one bar. i tried the 4th method and there isn't a settings folder. My other computer is running an older version 4.12.6 and its working great, should i down grade?

You might also try this.

Port Forwarding for the Linksys WRTP54G

Check with your isp. RoadRunner is known to filter p2p apps.

Now if my isp was filtering p2p why does my other computer work just fine. the only diffrence its wireless

I was just throwing that out there as a possible problem. 9 times out of 10 these ISP's won't come out and tell you that they filter your bandwith.

Have you tried portforwarding yet?? Good Luck :D
