connecting
 

I'm new.
mac OSX
g4
dsl
download and installed limewire june 12 2003.

can connect fine with web browser and surf net fine.

when linewire tries to connect I watch the connections tab and the following actions are happening

HOST:
lists lots of address-
62.98.197.165,
457.234.343.53
etc.etc

STATUS:
always reports connecting....

PROTOCOL:
is always 0.6

TIME:
counts up to about 3 seconds then the addresses disapear and new batch is listed this repeats for some time then goes quiet and never connects?.

i've left the running for two hours still no connections

any insights would be helpful.

I think you're behind a firewall and your firewall is blocking incoming connectiosn. Open up port 6346 and forward it.
