If you can't reach that page then that means the port LW is set to connect thru is being blocked.

1. Disable your XP firewall as Norton & XP FW don't run well together; go to the control panel, double click on Windows Firewall, check the disable box. Else, Alternate instructions for disabling XP firewall (click link in needed)

2. Then do this: * Configuring Norton Internet Security

3. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 in Fixes for Limewire (sample at bottom of page.)

Now try to connect. Give it lots of time, up to 30+ mins to try to connect.

If still can't connect, then please post back & see if you can find out the brand name & model number of your modem/router devices. These might be part of your problem. Answers to some more of the above questions would also help us to figure out your problem.
