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. HDD 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...)
9. Also tel us whatever you can about your LW option settings. eg: Uplds, Downlds, etc.
10. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/False?
11. When did this problem start happening? How long have you been using LW & when did yo update to this version?

These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

Did you configure your firewalls: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml
