Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www.grc.com/port_6346.htm (Press Probe this port button) Does it say open or closed?

If you do not get open or closed results then try this one: http://home.no.net/tgrumpy/ct/dex.php

Configure your firewall (only need one firewall to be active: 2 can interfere with each other!); instructions to allow LW full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

I spoke with my ISP concerning my connection problems and they very helpful in assisting me much to my suprise...the tech was also using LW PRO....he told me to lower the firewall on the modem from medium to low...i did so and now LW works perfectly even turbo...I still have my other firewall as well as wireless firewall....thanks so much for the assistance in this matter and maybe this will help others....can't guarantee your ISP (alltel) will be as cooperative but its worth a try...many thanks
