You could give Port Forwarding a try, but it still may not help...

Have a look under your modem/router you will see the make and model number for it, if you could supply these details I will see if there are any instructions available for you....

I have a similar problem with limewire 4.18. It used to load first at lightning speed but now it just launches but never seems to increase in the connection bar. I really miss using limewire and I need assistance as to what configuration I need to make. My operating system is win xp sp2.

Try this link (Connection troubleshooting) if this doesn't help you
In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if still no good click on (system details) fill in and post back here

I tried those instructions and now limewire seems to be operating. The connections tends to fade now and then but I guess that is as a result of internet traffic use.Thank you very much skyliner.

well done - e n j o y
