tiffanyyy,
Go through this thread, it has lots of info about connection/firewall problems. Your modem/router might have it's own internal firewall, so read the bits about enabling UPnP & port forwarding.
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're still stuck, post back with your details. The second post in the connections thread will tell you the info we need:)

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?

My info
 

I have windows xp im trying to connect from home im not sure of the ram or the what fire walls, the only fire wall things i can think of are the ones for aol and all the internet stuff, i have a dial up connection, i have lime wire pro 14.12.3 and java 1.5.0_06, there IS a wall infront of the globe down the bottom, this is a first problem ive had with a downloading agent and im not that experienced, my internet service provider is AOL, when i did the test you suggested it said it worked, im not sharing the connection with any other computer.

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
