Default Trouble connecting with new Mac -- please help!

Hi, hope someone can help me here! I'm having trouble connecting: it just keeps attempting but I never get there. Let me preface by saying that my PC also on this network connects fine and hasn't had a problem. Thanks in advance for any help and let me know if any further info would be of help!


1.OS version? (eg: Windows 98) OSX 10.4.9

2.What firewalls you have? I know I have the built in Mac firewall but I followed the instructions and specifically opened port 14307 as both TCP & UDP. Not sure of other Firewalls.

3.How much ram? Not sure, it's a new Imac

4.Hard Disk space available? 1GB

5.Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) DSL

6.Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Speedstream 5100

7.Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Work

8.What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Limewire 4.12.11 & Java 1.5.0_07

9.Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? AT&T

10.Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? Bold text read “ Your test worked!!”

11.Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Sharing with other computers in the office. We are on a wired network.

12.Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st try on this new computer

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

14.For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Not sure on this

15.What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. None

16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). US
