Default limewire enabling (can't connect)

I can not get my limewire to connect. It says it detected a firewall, but Ive done about everything I can think of. I have a wireless router made by Netgear, ISP is Mediacom. I did that test that it says to do and it says that it passed. All it says is that Limewire is enabling. I have the newest free version of Limewire. I did all of that plug and play nonsense, but that doesnt work, and I looked for the exception and it says that its allowed. My security is not on and it still says windows has detected a firewall. No clue whats going on. Can anyone help? thanks!

"Starting Connection" is all I see. What do I do to connect?

You both need to click on the blue 'system details' link in WW's post & answer as many of those questions as you can

Vista solution on hp comp wired, an hp laptop(wireless), worked for both
ok I had the same problem an everything seemed to not work, until I deleted the newest version of java 6, I searched my comp for all remaining java files an deleted them, I then installed older java thru the link posted 5.0 11,deleted limewire completely thru uninstall an search, then go to limewire an download, limewire basic, when basic installs you will see it install java files n it take a few min to complete, then once it is finished, completely close limewire, making sure icon is not runnin by clock, due to lime default settings, jus cuz ya click x, it doesnt shutdown completley unless u set it under LW settings, an if not sure run task manager, cntrl alt del, make sure it not runnin in the processes tab, right click on LW icon go to properties then compatibility, make sure the box is clicked,,, run this program in compatibility mode for, an select windows xp, service pack 2..select apply then ok, then run lime, it connects fine,,,if u want lime pro then unistall basic thru add/remove dont search for remainin files an install pro, but note thru my trial an error if u install pro first when it installin i noticed it doesnt install java jar files, an will not connect, only by runnin lime basic first did it install the java jar.... not sure y that is but, i reinstalled my pro an works like champ everytime even on comp restarts it turbo connected hope this helps someone peace...i didnt edit the firewall pref in LW I left in default use pnp, also note my isp is mediacom as well an use norton 2008

My LW will not connect... It worked fine until I downloaded the updated version 4.14.10. What is the deal?
