Just bought Limewire Pro this weekend and have not been able to get it to connect. There is only one bar on the connection and there is a brick wall infront of the globe indicating that there is a firewall. I have tried shutting firewalls off, and adding ports, but still nothing. Below is my specifications. Please Help.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
Windows XP Home Edition
2. What firewalls you have?
Windows and Defender Pro
3. How much ram?
512MB
4. Hard Disk space available?
20G Hard drive with about 9G available
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Modem: Motorala SB5100
Router: Netgear WGR614 v6
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
Connecting from 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.
Limewire 4.14.2 Pro
Java 1.5.0_11
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
TimeWarner Cable Road Runner
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?
Simple text on the left hand corner 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.
Not that I am aware of. I had Ares but uninstalled it.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
I had the free version before and it was working a couple of months ago. I didn’t use it very often, but when I tried to use it this weekend it was not working. I thought maybe if I paid for Pro it would work. No luck.
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
I do see the brick wall. I have shutoff firewalls, created ports, and still nothing.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
UPnP enabled on Limwire, but don’t know if router is set up the same way. Don’t know how to figure this out.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
Defender Pro is my antivirus
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).
United States.

Thanks for any assistance.

update:

Just went through replacing gnutella.net on my application data folder for limewire. Still no difference.

Junkie, Have you tried this...

Port Forwarding for the Netgear WGR614v6

Follow instructions exactly. Hope this helps

Also not familiar with Defender Pro. Does it have a firewall or is it just AV??

Ok. So I went back to double check that I had actually replaced the gnutella file. To my surprise the 0Kb version was still there. So I went through the process of replacing gnutella and voila I have a turbo charged connection.
