I have following all instructions from tech support in deleting LW and Java and reinstalling per their instructions and it STILL says it detects a firewall. I have no firewall running. Here are the answers to questions you asked for:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Vista Home Premium
2. What firewalls you have? Zone Alarm Secuity program but I have given LM permission AND I have shut the program down completely.
3. How much ram? 2 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? Over 400GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) I connect via cable modem
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorols Surfboard SBV5120
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? From my home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LM is 4.14.10 Pro and Java is 1.6.0_03
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Cablevision of NJ
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? It works, says 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 not sharing with any other computers.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have had the old Limewire for over a year and had no problems with the installation or the running of the program. My computer crashed and bought a new one that now has Vista instead of XP.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes, Yes, thats the damn problem... Ha.
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 Only Zone Alarm Security which is Vista compliant.
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). U.S.A.

Thanks for any help.
