You guys that asked for help are really something else.

Birdy has asked twice, in this thread, for your system details and all you guys do is say you want help. How do you expect any form of help if you don't say what equipment you have?

Therefore, for goodness sake, click on the link, read what we want and post your equipment details.

Just remember that we want to help you but you have to give us the information for us to do so, we can't read minds, astral project or use crystal balls, so we need you to tell us what you have.

I cannot connect to the network for some reason, while another machine on the same network can. I am being told that there is a firewall up, yet I have none installed on my machine.

1. I am using Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 3
2. With no firewalls (at least I couldn't find one, and I never installed one)
3. 512MB RAM
4. I have about 9GB available on the drive for downloads.
5. Cable Connection
6. RCA Cable Modem - Model # DCM325
Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router with 4 Port Switch - Model # BEFSR41 ver4.2
7. Home connection
8. Limewire 4.9.33
Java 1.4.2_05
9. Comcast is my ISP
10. "Your test worked!!"
11. There are 2 computers connected to the router if that's what you mean. The first port is being used by an XP machine and it has 0 problems with connecting to Limewire even with a firewall in place.
12. First attempt with LW on this network... The thing is that I can host games on Warcraft III (port in 6000 range) without a problem... also, I used to be on a different network and was able to access LimeWire without a problem. This is a new issue in that regard.
13. Yes, I see a brick wall.
14. Right now I'm trying port forwarding, but as I stated earlier, WC3 is no problem, but Limewire will not connect.
15. I used Avast Anti-virus (demo) and Ewido (demo) in the past, but both have been uninstalled. The only other program that even comes close would be AdAware.
16. I live in the United States of America.

I hope you can help me cos this is bugging me. Thank you.

Hey - it seems to have sorted itself out. Have a sneaking suspicion that it is related to me ISP (Clearwire) because the firewall appears randomly in LImewire and if I log out and try again its generally gone. Thanks for the help and advice though
