Like many others, LW is not working on my Vista laptop. It installed with no errors, but does NOT connect to anything (even though my Win XP desktop on the same home network works just fine). For some reason, even after turning off the Windows firewall, it still shows the "wall in front of the globe". I do run CA's Security Suite, but only for Anti-Virus, Spyware, & Spam...NOT their firewall...did not even install that component. I've tried all the suggestions I could find, but to no avail. Any other suggestions?
1. OS version?
Vista
2. What firewalls you have?
Windows
3. How much ram?
2038 Mb
4. Hard Disk space available?
103 Gb
5. Connection type?
cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Netgear, WNR834B
7. Where are you trying to connect from

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have?
LW = 14.6.2 Java = 1.6.0_01

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here:

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
Yes, home network. 1 other, desktop direct connection to Netgear router. Laptop (with Limewire connection problem) is wireless.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
No, been using LW on desktop for quite awhile.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
yes, nothing I have done gets rid of it.
14.
For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
UPnP enabled.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall.
CA Security Suite v3.2.1.8, but did not install (not using) its firewall. I am using the standard Windows firewall.
