I've had problems with Limewire connecting before, and used several of the tricks here and have had sucess. However, upon returning to school I had connection problems and tried the tricks I remembered and some others I found on here. I've tried everything, and I'm convinced that the university is blocking Limewire somehow. Is there any way around this, or anything I can do?

1. OS version? Windows XP (SP3)
2. What firewalls you have? Sygate Personal Firewall
3. How much ram? 512MB DDR SDRAM
4. Hard Disk space available? 126 Gb
5. Connection type? University LAN
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Unknown
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? dorm room
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.18.6 and Jave 6 Update 7
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Unknown
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? Network Timeout
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? New problem w/ experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Unknown
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? AVG Anti-Spyware 8.0 Free & Sygate Personal Firewall
16. What country are you living in? USA

This is very common -- most schools / universites nowadays are blocking P2P traffic and there's nothing you can do about it and no way around it.
