http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ What does it do? (it should say Test page was a success) -- I tried that at it said the page was a success.

You will need to configure your firewalls to allow both LW & Java access (you at least have XP firewall); instructions: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml---I followed those instructions too....still nothing.

You also use dsl which frequently use internal NAT firewalls within their modems or routers. Can you tell us your Modem & router brand name & model numbers?---Modem is Dacom-Telson I&C TV-1200.

Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? [/B][/QUOTE] --I am connecting from home....which is on an Air Force Base in korea.

The test page is a very simple test to find out if you're being blocked from port 6346 which LW uses.

I can't find any info on your modem, other than I end up at a Korean website. Korean is not one of the asian languages I learnt unfortunately. Is it a wireless type connection?

Go to your LW menu Tools>Options>Downlds & make sure you have at least one or more Max Downloads set. Example below. Also go to Tools>Options>Searching>Limit & make sure you have at least 5 set in that option. Press the Apply button if you needed to make any changes.

If this doesn't work, the best I can suggest is to try another version to see if it makes any difference from your personal downld page (if you lost the link you can find it here: HERE 1st try the Windows(Multilingual) version. Else try: http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=limewire

When you connect it should show coloured bars in the connection quality bar at the bottom left of the main LW window. These should be either green or blue.

Allow LW to run for up to an hour, then do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/False?
