kate4885 is flying high
Default not connecting

thanks for the reply

I have followed what threads i can to check my system and im not getting anywhere

when i start Limewire it just sticks on 'loading messages' and doesnt connect

my systen information is as follows :-

vista basic - im the only user of the computer - does that make me the admisnistrator ????

I have two firewalls - windows defender which is switched off and Zone alarm - i have checked he latter and it allows lime wire through

not sure on ram ????? sorry

lots of disc space ( new computer )

connection is broad band ( quite fast )

router - net gear dg834g

used only in my house

lastest lime wire and I have updated Java to the lastest too (limewire 4.16.6 ) - i updated Java on installation of lime wire as it asked me too

isp - pipex

did the test and yes it worked

not sharing with anyone

1st time trying to use lime wire

yes there is a brick wall infront of the blue world

not sure what qusetion 14 means - there is only me using the router

security is AVG and AVG spyware and Zone alarm

im in the uk


for what its worth when i try to search ( which i know i cant as the connection bars are red ) it says it must finish loading before i can search BUT i have left it alone for an hour and it doesnt stop scrolling 'loading messages'

thank you
