i have vista basic
belkin 54g router (im not wirelessly connected to it)
1gb of RAM
plenty of disk space
broadband
im at home
latest version of java
im not sure who my provider is, possibly virgin :-S
when i went to http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ it said my test worked
dont think i have other p2p sharing programs
i see the brick wall but i did before when it worked
i have avast! and windows firewall but i have let limewire through them both and even tried it when they are disabled. i have also tried it when the belkin 54g firewall is disconnected.
i live in england

any help would be great
thanks =]
Were there any fixes here that you had trouble with? If LW Will Not Connect

After you deleted the preferences folder, did you have to go through LW's setup wizard all over again?

Have you tried port forwarding for your router? I don't know the model of your router, but if you go to this site you can find your router in the list, then select LW from the programs list & you'll find step by step instructions.
PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

You'll need to set up a static IP address first, or port forwarding won't work.

LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within your router config must all be the same number
