Default getting blocked, then tried to reinstall!
I was getting blocked by the firewal apparently, even though I did everything to allow access. So I uninstalled and tried to start over. Now, it's giving me this message...

Default I even uninstalled my McAfee!
I have Windows XP, and updated the latest version of Limewire. I have that brick wall thing on my page and it won't connect! I have done everything that all these help pages said to do, and it still won't work! I have turned off the windows firewall and uninstalled my McAfee! 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

Default same issues here
I'm having the same exact issues as McGoo777 and others.

My Limewire was working fine for the past 2 years plus (through several upgrades) until last week. I didn't do/add/change anything. I had just renewed my membership a month earlier. Had no problems. Then couldn't connect. So I upgraded again to the new 4.18.3. Still can't connect.
I've gone through every step in the help section and on this forum. still no go.
Yesterday, when I booted up, I was SUDDENLY able to connect. Hadn't done anything differently.
Now today, I'm back to no connectivity. This needs to be fixed. or I will cancel and demand a refund.

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
