Have you tried these fixes yet -- In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if this doesn't work click on (connection problems) and try these -- let us know how you get on

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.

Default 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
