Default Having problems using limewire

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if you can help me. I installed Limewire Pro on my computer and all seemed well until it was time to search for a song and it says: Enabling Open Information Sharing. I have deleted the folder in the preferences setting as mentioned in previous postings but that didn't work. I installed my limeware pro at work on a PC and it worked great. I don't know why I am having such a difficult time on my MAC at home. I hope someone can help me figue it out. Here are the details about my computer:



1. OS version: MAC OS X, Version 10.4.10
2. What firewalls you have? I am not sure. But they say they are turned off.
3. How much ram? It is a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
4. Hard Disk space available? 80 gb
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable modem
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? -- No clue.
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? From House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Version 4.14.12 Pro and Java 1.5.0_07
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast
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? It says, Your Test worked on top and nothing else.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. ???
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st time
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ click here to see Sample image Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? ??
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall ???
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) Miami, Florida, USA


Please help!!!
