Help getting LW to work.. here is the form filled out.
 
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
OS X 10.4.8

2. What firewalls you have?
Unsure

3. How much ram?
Unsure, but I’ve hardly used it. I purchased my laptop new.

4. Hard Disk space available?
Unsure, but, again, I’ve hardly used this laptop so it should have a lot.

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc)
Wireless on campus, hooked up through router in dorm b/c of bad reception

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Netgear FS605

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
Dorm, LW works from my home but not at school

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
LW: 4.12.6
Java: 1.5.0_06

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
Unsure

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?
Nothing… eventually says “error can not connect” or something like that.

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
My roommate’s laptop is connected to same router.

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
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?
Yes.

Other info:
After about one minute, a screen pops up that says:
“Your machine does not appear to have an active Internet connection or a firewall is blocking Limewire from accessing the internet. Limewire will keep trying to automatically connect you to the network unless you select 'disconnect' from the file menu.”

Most schools block, or at least shape p2p use. Contact the school's computer admin & find out what their policy on p2p use is.
If anybody else at school's using LW successfully, find out what they've done & do the same:D

Don't know if there's anything in the thread below to help you, but have a read & see...
