my router is upnp compliant. my program is windows vista. when i startup limewire it just keeps staying on starting connection but will not go any further. i have the firewall set to allow limewire to connect but the firewall sign is still showing. new to all this because it worked before with no problems. what can i do. forgive me if this question has already been answered in another thread but this is my first time here.

please help

Moved to LW forum

There are lots of fixes to try here: If LW Will Not Connect

Start off by deleting/replacing the gnutella.net file, if that doesn't work then delete LW's preferences folder (there's a link for Vista users in that thread). Otherwise, go through the rest of the fixes.

If nothing helps, please post back with your system details.
