Up until about 1 week ago I had no problem connecting to Limewire...now it just won't.

I took the 'test' you suggest and it worked. I've made sure ZoneAlarm firewall (which I've had for ages) allows LM. I'm on AOL 9.0 but have been for ages and it always worked. I have the latest Java. I don't have 'bricks' around the globe and I have the LM in the system tray at bottom.

What now?

I use Windows XP and don't share my computer. I have Broadband, not WiFi.

Nothing has changed since the last time LM worked.

(any help would be great)
