Yes, I am aware that you don't get paid for this, however, I left my information already and the only answer I got was from a regular who said, "Hope it's not a bug. Peace."
That to me isn't offering help. I had left all the pertinent information as I'm going to do again:

1. OS version? XP
2. What firewalls you have? Spysweeper with Antivirus
3. How much ram? 1gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 57gb
5. Connection type? LAN Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? No name router
7. Where are you trying to connect from? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.12.6
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Charter Cable
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? It says, "Your test worked."
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem, experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

There you go. Do you see anything that could be causing the mishap?
Also, do you have any idea who these bogus hosts are and how they're all of the sudden coming out of the woodwork?

Thank you kindly,
Troy
