Default Now having connection problems

No comp whiz here, but have been using Limewire for several years. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I noticed my connection speed was way down. I don't remember seeing the firewall prior but says Limewire is now detecting one! I have tried changing firewall settings, changed port listening numbers, and still yet only have one bar on my connection.

Using XP here with limewire 4.18.8 on DSL. Comp is running fine with this exception. Not sure what to do..........

Default new computer

I recently got a mac. I have been using a pc for years, and never had a problem with Limewire. Now I'm trying to get Limewire to work on my mac, and it wont connect to the network. Does anyone have any idea how I can overcome this obstacle?

Is your LW connected properly (all green/blue connection bars)?
