It's my guess that your problem with the brick wall is your 2wire router. Some routers do not have good UPnP support. UPnP is where programs such as LW send requests to your router to open a port for listening during that session. Port forwarding the 2wire would be the answer. However, Else it is the wireless service. Your ISP's routers may have various ports closed. I've read of similar problems with wireless ISP services.

What I find weird though is that I have all 5 green bars and can search like a madwoman BUT I still have the wall. hhmm.....

this works
 

Another suggestion is to close LW, install FrostWire & if it connects, then close it down, and redownload lime wire i had the same problem for weeks and i downloaded frostwire and it connected and then deleted frost wire and redownloaded lime wire and it works like a champ,good luck,Doug:xeri_ok1ani:

i am having the EXACT same problem that sugarcookies was having.. i tried deleting and redownloading limewire, but that didn't work. i also tried searching "gnutella.net" in my computer but nothing came up. heeelllp!

Something you forgot. :) Click here

what? my information?

i'm not even sure what some of these are..
 Your Operating System... windows vista
 Your version of your Gnutella Client i have limewire 4.18.8
 Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL)... cable
 The exact error message, if one pops up... it says "still connecting to the network" and then "detects a firewall" ..it's not a pop up, just the icons at the bottom.
 Any other relevant information that you think may help... i have McAfee Security Center.. i have limewire as an allowed program.
