Default Connection Problems UGGH!

Well what was happening with my old P2P (Ares) there was some connection problem so I switched to Limewire. However, now whenever I'm trying to download a song, and I get a ' Not connected to the network' message. What should I do?

1. OS version? Windows Vista
2. What firewalls you have? None
3. How much ram? ?
4. Hard Disk space available? 100GB
5. Connection type? Modem
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 2wie
7. Where are you trying to connect from house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limwire v 4.14.10 Java 1.6.0-oem
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Bell
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ Doesn't open for me
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? no
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. first try
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes_
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)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Norton
16. What country are you living in? Canada

There's not alot you can do when it comes to ISP's, except to change...

Your best bet is contacting them and finding out what their off peak times are....
Sorry I can't be of any more help...

If you are able to connect to other sites on the web then I would say yes. It's all about Bandwith for the most part.

See if you can download anything from here. See Link Below.

+ MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content.

It is legal to download anything from MagnetMix.
