Default Limewire won't connect. (on OSX Leopard)

It just won't connect. I tried disconnecting & reconnecting, I disabled showing tips, I tried changing the port, I even tried un-installing and re-installing Limewire altogether, but it still won't connect. Can anybody help?


Here's my system details:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account.
Mac OS X 10.5.1

2. What firewalls you have?
Whatever's automatic with the computer?

3. How much ram?
4 GB

4. Hard Disk space available?
325.24 GB on the main HD, and then another 460.34 GB on my second HD

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
cable

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Motorola SB5101 Surfboard Cable Modem

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?
Apartment

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
Limewire 4.16.6, Java 1.5.0_13

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

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?
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www3.limewire.com:6346/” because it could not connect to the server “www3.limewire.com”.


11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
No

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
I had it for years on my old computer.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image
Yes.

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
None

16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).
United States

Check these tips http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html Though of course some of those are windows only instructions.

OSX has its own firewall. Check whether it is turned on or not. System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall tab. First or third option are best for LW.
