Lord of the Rings is the Mac expert. He should be the one to advise you.

Who do you pay for your internet?
What version of Java do you have? You can find this by opening Limewire, click on Help (on the top), and click 'about limewire'.

Good Luck :idea:

Your ISP is Cabotvmadeirense
You are having a firewall issue. What I suggest is you configure your OSX firewall: OSX Firewall settings for Tiger (click on blue link)

Then restart LW. If you still have problems, let me know if you still see brick wall. Also try to find out the brand name & model of your connection device. :)

Find the Go menu on the menu bar in Finder, choose Applications. Then find LimeWire. Then double-click it & it will open for you. Now, find LW in the Dock & click on it & hold it down, you will see an option for Keep in Dock, choose it. Then next time you wish to open LW, just click on the LW icon in your Dock.
