Thanks for the reply, Birdie. I have left LimeWire try to connect until it has quit trying. I did this 2 or 3 times. I do not have the program "Norton Firewall" installed. I only have Norton Antivirus 2006 which has "Internet Worm Protection" built in. I assume that acts as a firewall because if I remember correctly, every time I turn it on, it turns off Windows XP Firewall. I did try allow Limewire through "Internet Worm Protection" if I did it right.

I did look at your first link below before posting with instructions on configuring a firewall, but since Win XP firewall is off, and I am not using any of the others, it didn't help too much. I did, however, find in there about how to get the LimeWire port and that is what I tried to allow in my router setup. Again, if I did it right. When I run the test below in your second link, it says "Your test worked!". I did go into my Linksys WRT54G router and try to allow the port there. I think I figured out the correct way to do that.

As far as your request for Additional info, I am using WildBlue satellite internet as my ISP. I am connecting from home on a Pentium 4 desktop 2.4 GHZ with plenty of RAM, drive space, etc.
LimeWire is version 4.10.0 and Java version is 1.5.0_03. Anything else? Thanks for replying to my post. John
