i've been reading and following the connections posts for about 2 weeks, and while many people seem to have similar problems, none of the solutions suggested have worked so far for me.

here's what i've got:

i tried the test ( http://www3.limewire.com:6346/) and i always get a message saying "operation timed out when attempting to connect." it's never actually worked.

1. i'm running Windows XP2
2. i don't have windows firewall activated, but i do have ZoneAlarm, but I have allowed Limewire on it
3. 256mb ram
4. 11 GB available
5. wireless connection (cable modem)
6. Motorola WU830G
7. connecting from home
8. LW 4.9.23, java 1.5.0_03
9. time warner cable
10. there are 2 computers on our wireless network: my desktop and my roommate's laptop
11. i'm pretty experienced with limewire, i've used it for about 4 or 5 years with absolutely no connection problems, until i moved into my house and got the wireless connection. now it will say "connecting" forever, and then i get a message saying i have no active internet connection, although i'm online.

i have also followed the instructions for firewall configuration to allow LW full access, but at the botton of the LW screen it says it detects a firewall.

if someone could help me out i would really really appreciate it. i've been going crazy hearing new songs on the radio nd not being able to get them at home! thanks so much!
