Hi pinkshine,

You need to post the details of your setup so someone can help you:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Try the link in birdy's post above for more help.

You'll need to configure windows firewall to allow limewire access to the internet. Directions in this link: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml.

Some of AOL's anti-spyware(Pest patrol) may detect limewire as spyware. You may need to make an exception for LW.

Your on dial-up, so you don't have much bandwidth to play with. Follow Grandpa's advice in this thread on how to best configure LW: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...-up#post175733

that number didnt work! and i bought limewire pro and it STILL doesnt work. this message comes up "LimeWire was unable to initalize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking limewires acess to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow limewire acess to the internet and restart limewire." And those links you guys gave me dont work because in the step 1 & 2 it says go into limewire and that is the problem i cant soo i duno the internal and external port numbers.. they rest i can do. PLEASE HELP MEE! =(
