Can you give us a total description 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 (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?
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

That tells us you have a firewall issue. The problem is either your software firewall or else, your modem/router (many high speed devices have internal NAT firewalls.) Check your answers here; section 1. software firewall. 2. UPnP or, 3. Port forwarding if your device doesn't support UPnP or has a poor implementation of it; Connection problems? Check here first!
