I have used Limewire before many many times, I just recently purchased a new laptop with Vista Premium..cannot connect to Limewire..need help.I answered these questions to the best of my ability..please help. thank you.

1. OS version? Windows Vista Premium
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall, ZoneAlarm
3. How much ram? 1024
4. Hard Disk space available? 120 gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? D-Link
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? CoffeShop..used Limewire here many times before with my old XP system
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. The latest, just downloaded.
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Most Likely ATT
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? Yes test says it worked
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've used it plenty times before.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes I see firewall. Windows Firewall I turned it off, and ZoneAlarm I have allowed Limewire..I have also add ports

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. Avast! and Windows default programs.
