What router do you have (Brand Name). Give detailed information.

Did you configurate the XP firewall according to the post " Coonection Problems - Click here first "
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=51361

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?

And who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)???

Well, then I have some bad news for you. Your ISP is blocking the 6346 port (that's why you couldn't get to the page in the test).Read here (and follow the links of the post of LOTR):

In this thread you'll find links on how to portforward (that might help you):
