lwftl&w is flying high
Default Would you like to guess my problem?(won't connect all of a sudden)

Right, limewire was working last time i was on there, but i tryed earlier today and 'Limewire is currently connecting to the network' and it stayed that way.


1. OS version? : Windows xp
2. What firewalls you have? Norton anti-virus
3. How much ram? Not sure
4. Hard Disk space available? Not sure
5. Connection type? broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Bt(is that correct?)
7. Where are you trying to connect from : House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have?
Limewire = 4.14.10
Java = 1.5.0_03
9. Who is your ISP : Bt(is that correct?)
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? Yes it 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. No im not
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Had limewire for about 2 years and no major problems i couldnt fix myself
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? n/a
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall : Norton anti-virus/
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). : England

At a guess your modem router has lost its setting, you can either put the setting back in manually or restore the setting from your backup (if you have one).
