Did you do the port test (there's a link in the sticky)? What result did you get?

What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Did you make sure that your XP firewall was off & that your Norton firewall was configured properly? Did you find out the brand & model of your modem? The problem is quite possibly something to do with your modem but to help, we need that info

I'll post your details from your PM here, in case someone else wants to answer if I'm not around

i have a windows xp
i have limewire version 4.10.9 and the java is 1.5.0_03
I have norton anti-virus and the personal internet firewall
i have a 56k modem
my isp is a local company called Yucca it has a phone number so let me know if you need to know that
my connection type is dial up i guess
i connect from home
the computer i am on is the only one that i have limewire on
i had limewire since september if not before, and this is the first time i cannot cannot connect
