8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help bar > About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. _ LIMEWIRE 4.18.6
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. no, it has never connected on this computer.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? yes. and iv turned off all firewalls.[/SIZE]
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I have no idea.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Zonealarm and Windows. |
Firstly, choose one firewall. If run two then it will result in less security not more plus other side effects & problems. Configure the one you choose to 'allow' LW in the firewall rules.
Make sure LW is not using same connection or listening port as any other LW running on same connection. Check this via Tools > Options > Advanced > Firewalls.

I am not sure about the Verizon router. It's my guess they have it made by another company who label it with their own name on it. Example it could be a Westell6100. I know with that brand they are best manually port forwarded, their UPnP support is quite unreliable. (Edit: Google results tend to agree with my guess, your router is most likely a Westell, since Verizon also use this model.) If above suggestions don't work then port forwarding is probably way to go. Let us know if need further help then I will give instructions on how to port forward.
