It tells me that I have a firewall that is blocking it, but I have done ALLLLLL that it said to do and even tried to get the last version and it still will not let me do anything. I have already lost ALL of my songs that I did have! I have been working with this thing for over 3 hours and still I can't get anywhere.

Default Cannot connect to Lime Wire...I think I answered most of the right questions needed

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account. I use Vista
2. What firewalls you have? none blocking LW, but I use McAfee
3. How much ram? I don't know how to find this
4. Hard Disk space available? 39.1 GB out of 99.7 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.): cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?: Modem:RCA- DCM 235, router: Linskys WRT54G V8
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?: house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ Click to see Sample image: LW: 4.18.6 PRO, JAVA: 1.60-oem
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?: Comcast
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?: 'Your test worked!'
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.: No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.:New problem, existing user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image : YES
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?: I don't know
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall : I checked this, and it is not blocking LW, I am using McAfee
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).: USA

CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!! THANK YOU!
