Have tried bluetooth. here is what I found after 6 months of f***ing around: could not pair w/toshiba-intel setup; moved to hp dongle and broadcom(widcom) stack - that setup was as solid as an agoraphobic stuck in a walmart cashier line - have changed to iogear dongle w/broadcom stack. Works like a charm, bt connection, though slow, is solid, w/very few discos.

lately have had same connection problems as others here.

cannot use port 6347 - port is unavaliable ???
have a firewall signal on tray, came out of nowhere.

also use peer guardian2, (forever), and looking at reports, shows blocks on "limewire" at addresses such as 70.5.224.106
99.201.80.14
68.246.97.127
among others. What is that about?? Never before have I seen this....

oh... latest versions of everything... xp pro sp3, limewire xxx-8 pro, java 1.6.10 (no issues b4), asus laptop, centrino dual, 3g ram, etc.

anybody find anything out?

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? It says "your test worked" Yeah the test worked so what...?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I am not on a network and there are two laptops using the same network
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. A new problem with an experienced user
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _Yes i see a brick wall
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? of course you can't get a new ip address w/o it
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall Norton!
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). United States


Thanks any and all for your help!!!

AFAIK Verizon does not block p2p sharing.

I believe CenturyLink may be blocking as well. Last week I had no problem using LW5. Past couple of day though I start LW and it will connect (mostly with only a med connection now) but it will not download anything and when it tries it is at like 2 or 4kb/sec. Mostly it goes through the list of connections then shows a failed download or a stalled one.

Hp DV5217cl laptop
2gb ram
Win XP Pro SP3
AMD Turion 64
DSL Connection

Would love if anyone could confirm this

From Century Link's TOS: H. You will not run programs or servers that provide services to others through the Services which includes
web hosting, multi-user interactive forums, game servers, operating an internal mail/http/ftp/irc/dhcp server
for external connections or supporting multi-user forums, or engage in excessive peer-to-peer file sharing
activities

So I guess the question is what do they consider excessive. They also monitor activity from your pc.
