 Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk 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...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider? 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 12. 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? You should wait a few mins for LW to settle down & properly connected before searching.

| You sound like a local (aapt.) Yes dial up is not so easy. I would recommend you allow LW to settle down before using. Wait 10 mins before using. If still no good, go to File menu > Disconnect. Then wait a minute or 2, then File menu>Connect. Questions 10. Only if you are sharing the connection with another computer. 2. Check your control panels. Which firewall options are there. Also check your programs list (Start menu>Programs). You will at least have XP firewall. As recommended, use the above link to configure your XP firewall. I forgot to mention, do you have XP SP2 installed. If yes, it might be worth installing this patch; see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28437 If still no go, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire
