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 (Internet Service 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? ![]()

![]() Read the post No. 12 of LOTR in the following thread regarding Belkin router: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...=Belkin+router In the same thread you'll find a post of Birdy regarding Belkin support page. ![]() And by the way, if you can't reach the page with "Your test worked" it means that your ISP is blocking the port 6346. You must change the listening port to a higher range, such as 64049 or 47058. Do this in LW as well as in your firewall (XP) and don't use 2 firewalls at the same time. One is enough and the second one will only interfere with the first one.
