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 worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? erm i've got a p2p program but thats got access as well

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? For a little while the it goes.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? not sure
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Mcafee

When LW eventually connects, is it a full connection or just a couple of bars?
You really should disable one of your firewalls, like I explained in your other thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...oads-help.html

If LW's fully connected, try the tips here:
1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it's ticked , untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If LW isn't fully connected, please try to find out the brand & model of your modem/router & the name of your ISP.
