Yeah, that just means that your LW can't connect to any ultrapeers. When you've got a stable connection to 3 then you'll see the green connection bars come up.
See how you go with all this tomorrow

I can't connect too. It's connecting all the time.

OS: Windows XP Professional
LW & Java version: LW-4.12.3, Java-5.0.70.3
Firewall you're using: Windows (Turn Off)
Modem/router brand & model: D-Link
ISP:
Connection type: ADSL
Where you connect from: Home (Thailand)

This is link to my connections screen http://www.upfile.us/ziiz/src5tdoc2.doc

Do this test, does it work?
http://www3.limewire.com:6346

Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall)?

Who is your ISP & what's the model of your DLink? Have you used LW or other p2p apps before?

Read through this
Connection problems? Check here first!
You're better off to have a firewall configured for LW rather than turned off. You'll find a link for firewall setup within that thread.

I have tested you can see in link below.
Sorry, my router is not D-Link but it's PTI 818 (http://www.paradigm.com.tw/P3_ADSL_P818.html)

Thank alot for quickly reply.

Did you configure the XP firewall?

Since you're seeing the firewall icon... your router supports UPnP so try enabling it & then choosing 'Use UPnP' within LW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Apply to save the change.

Your router does have an internal firewall but I can't find any instructions for how to set up port forwarding for this router. There are several other PTI routers listed with portforward.com here
http://www.portforward.com/english/r...outerindex.htm

Perhaps you could find out whether the instructions for any of these other routers could be used to port forward your model? If you contact PTI support, someone should be able to help you

Did you configure the XP firewall?
NO, I didn't, but now the brick wall is unappear and in router configuration is "Use UPnP (Recommened)"

Sometimes can connect and quickly change to "connecting"
Now, I can load some music but it's very very very slow

Is your ISP MaxNet or T.O.T??
I have MaxNet and they sometimes try to shape the bandwidth I'm using.
I've already complained several times (with some threatening emails), which prompted them to check my line and then it got faster for quite some time. After that it started again till the next mail of mine.

Anothe issue I had so far was some Spyware program I have installed, which slowed down the speed. After I disabled the "on-guard" function, my connection speed got better as well.
