![]() Hey guys. I'm having sudden connection issues - Limewire seems to be suddenly be blocked by my router's firewall when I had it configured, and it was working.

Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? 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 4.18.3 Java 1.6.0_06 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Persona Cable 10. Do this simple test for us.
