Hello,

I have had limewire for a very long time (Pro) and have had successful connections to the "Turbo-Charged" status after mere seconds until these past two weeks. I thought maybe it was an expired Pro membership, so I upgraded last night and still am unable to connect at home or at work.

Here are my stats:

Max OsX 10.5.3 (Leopard) - (I have had Leopard for over 6 months and have had successful connections with it.)
LimewirePro 4.18.2
Home connection: wireless router/BellSouth DSL
Work connection: unknown (but i work at a large hospital so it's got to be something relatively huge and good. I have been able to connect from both home and work.)

I have the "Firewall" icon at the bottom left corner and the one bar with "Starting Connection" that just stays stuck there.

I've tried testing the ports and when I test 6346 it says closed... I have changed and added so many things in my attempts to figure this out that I just now clicked "Restore defaults" in the Limewire Preferences > Advanced > Firewall settings. So, that's where I am... if anyone can talk me out of this chaos, I will be forever grateful.

Thanks,

Paula
