I even purchased the latest version of Limewire thinking I just may need the updated one. None of this has worked! WHat is going on???
I should add:
1. OS version? I dont know what that is, but I have windows xp
2. What firewalls you have? did have mcafee and uninstalled it after turning firewall off didn't work
3. How much ram? 512mb
4. Hard Disk space available? I dont' know, a lot I guess
5. Connection type? dsl
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I have no idea. I have a Dell computer.
7. Where are you trying to connect from ? my house, it worked for years before this!
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW4.18.3 Java 1.2_3
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? displays "your test worked!"
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs?I dont' think so
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem. Used Limewire successfully for years. This problem presented itself just a couple months ago
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, and I have the firewall off in windows and no more mcafee
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? unsure
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? none that i know of
16. What country are you living in? usa
Your java version is outdated -- update to version JRE 6 update 7 from here (Java SE Downloads) -- if this doesn't fix your problem --

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes
