Default Download/Upload or Connection?
It appears I can't do either. This is my first post, so here's my system information:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) If using Windows Vista, please tell us whether you have an Administrator user account.WINDOWS XP HOME
2. What firewalls you have? WINDOWS FIREWALL. ONLY ONE I CAN CONFIRM
3. How much ram? 1.5 GIG
4. Hard Disk space available? 55 GIG (80 GIG HD, DELL DESKTOP)
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) WILDBLUE SATELLITE
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? WILDBLUE MODEM, ROSEWILL 54M WIRELESS ROUTER, MODEL RNX-G400
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? HOME
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: 4.16.6 JAVA: 1.6.0_05
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? WILDBLUE.NET
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”
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. MY WIFE’S COMPUTER IS DIRECT CONNECT, 100 MBPS – MINE IS WIRELESS, 54 MBPS[/font]
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. IT’S A NEW PROBLEM. I’VE BEEN DOWNLOADING SUCCESSFULLY (ON DIAL-UP) FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS. I DOWNLOADED FINE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS I HAD WILDBLUE.NET, BUT A WEEK AGO IT QUIT CONNECTING.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']_[/font] click here to see Sample image MOST OF THE TIME. IT DOES DISAPPEAR OCAISSIONALLY.
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP ENABLED, I BELIEVE. THE ROUTER SUPPORTS IT
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall NORTON ANTI-VIRUS 2008
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). USA/FLORIDA

I've spent the last 3 days following all the advice I can find on this forum and elsewhere. My wife has MP3 Rocket, and I've been using Limewire for almost 3 years with my dial-up ISP. I've removed gnutella, limewire, and java, have the latest versions of everything, but none of that worked. I've massaged the firewall settings as instructed - nope. So here I am, somebody please help?!?
