The version is irrelevant, and my question is unanswered.

I did the telnet test as specified here:

"BEFORE PURCHASE, PLEASE PERFORM THIS TEST!!!

Q: I have LimeWire open but I can't seem to connect. I know I have an internet connection so what's going on?

A: Your ISP (AOL, Cablevision, etc....) might be blocking Gnutella traffic. For example, the ISP STARBAND blocks all Gnutella activity at their network. If you're on Windows, perform this test to see if you can connect to Gnutella. Non-Windows users can run this as well if they know where to find the telnet program.

1. From the Start menu, choose "Run".
2. In the resulting dialog box, type "telnet 64.61.25.171 6346". Click OK.
3. A window will pop up. If it doesn't say "GNUTELLA OK" within a few seconds, your ISP is probably blocking Gnutella traffic. In this case, there's not much we can do. Non-Windows users can run this as well if they know where to find the telnet program.

If your ISP blocks Gnutella traffic, LimeWire WILL NOT work on your computer."

This test fails on my machine. As I said, I get the message "connection lost" after several seconds. So I believe it's not just an upgrade issue, but also the likelihood that AT&T is now blocking gnutella. Can someone confirm this for me? Is anyone out there in New England using AT&T (Comcast) and successfully running a version newer than 2.5 today? If so, would you please perform the above test for me and tell me what you get?
