Default Connection problem.

I've had this problem for a while, i dont seem to be able to connect to the internet with limewire, i also cant download torrents, using limewire or BitTorrent. I though it might be my router's firewall blocking it but it recently broke and i dont use one anymore but still have the same problem.

I dont seen to be able to post a screenshot..

Instead of writing "bump.." maybe try posting more details about your setup/connection etc.

Could be your ISP blocks filesharing programs though. Try a bittorrent program where you can use transport encryption e.g. Azureus
