Celestin is flying high
Red face Please help. (Can't Connect-Vista)

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows Vista Premium.
2. What firewalls you have? Zonealarm Security Suite.
3. How much ram? 1GB.
4. Hard Disk space available? 141 GB (I think)
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Broadband.
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? BT Voyager 205 ADSL Router.
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home.
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 Pro & Java 1.6.0 (But java isn't the problem)
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? BT Broadband?
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? Your test worked.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I don't think so.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Nah, I've had Limewire for ages, but I've just brought a new Vista pc.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes.


The Problem.
I've filled all I can in, but my problem is that my Firewall seems to be blocking Limewire. As I've previously answered, I do have Zonealarm Security Suite, and I've gone to Program Control > Program, 'trust level' has 3 bars, access and sever are BOTH ticked, so as far as I can see, it should be letting Limewire through, so I don't understand why when I open Limewire it only had one bar and says "Starting Connection"...

My Windows firewall if off, and I've uninstalled Zonealarm just to see if it'll work without it, and it works perfectly fine. I install it again and it stays on the "Starting Connection" status. So it must be something to do with the firewall for all I can see.

I'm really at a loss here, so if someone could help it'll be greatly appreciated..
