I used to get a Firewall error but let me reassure you that I have disabled everything that could even be conceived as a potential firewall. Now it just sits on Connecting... forever. I tried fixing this once and I finally gave up, I would really love to make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Vista
2. What firewalls you have? Windows firewall
3. How much ram? 1918MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 97GB free
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Belkin 54G - Not sure of Model but have attempted to bipass via direct connection with same error.
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? 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. LW - 5.3.6; Java - 1.6.0_16
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? Your test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. One other desktop and on a rare occasion one laptop, both are usually off, the desktop is hard wired, the two laptops use the wireless modem.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I am familiar with LimeWire, I have been using it for a while on Windows XP, but this is the first time I tried it on my laptop using Windows Vista.
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 Used to, not anymore, still won't connect, just says connecting and the bars are gray...
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I don't know? I've tried both settings in LW, and I've added the LW port to my list of connections. Don't know too much about the router.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall AVG, Spyboy, Adaware, Windows Defender, NONE of which are currently installed, I uninstalled all of them in an attempt to get this thing working.
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
