Thank you. I suspect the connection devices might be related to your problem. You need to ensure UPnP is enabled on your devices for LW to be able to communicate directly with them so a port can be opened for it. Have a look under the UPnP section of the following link: Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link); ie: enable UPnP on both the d-link & netgear. Wireless devices almost always have internal NAT firewalls.

i have the same problem. 4.12.3 is stuck on HTML loading after gathering startup data. i don't have a wireless setup here, and I have Limewire properly enabled in Zonealarm to access any port. I have Limewire 4.10 running on another PC right beside this one and the configs are identical. 4.10 is working fine.
i tried both the internet install and the full download install...same result.
i updated java to 5.0.7 as suggested, no change.
i also disabled Zonealarm, and tried again, , same result.
so zonealarm is not the issue, and I never run the WinXP Firewall.... so although the info msg is displaying a gif of the 3 zonealarm alerts, i can't see how that's the problem.

appreciate any help. thx.
