Make sure that your XP firewall is off & that your McAffee is configured properly

You might want to update your Java, your version's pretty old;) Use the offline installer for JRE below & remove your old Java version before you install the new one.

You mentioned AT&T...if you're using AT&T, they might be part of the problem (even though you're on dial-up & your port test worked). Check out the post below

When you first got LW & could download...was the firewall icon there?
Do you see any green connection bars? Can you search & bring up any results?

So you think I should just wait a while until it comes back on? What is so weird was on all day sunday, the brick wall was in front of the globe, but around 7 that evening the brick wall wasn't there anymore! and I was able to download songs again. Then monday morning, it was there again. It's driving me crazy:yikes:

I thought there might've been a typo in your post & that you were connecting through AT&T:o
If that's your computer's internal modem, it's a different story.
Did you check the setup of your McAfee firewall?
Who do you pay for your internet use?
Did you update your Java?

I have disabled my mcafee firewall, and it still has the brick wall in front of the globe. How do I update my java?

Go here & choose the "Offline" installer: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Then just follow directions with the installer. It might also be a good idea to remove your previous Java versions before-hand. To do that, go to Control panels, open Add/Remove Programs control panel & look for Java or JRE/JSE & remove. You should reboot then install the new version. ;)

I cant even open up Lime Wire to check and see if the icon is turned on or off. The model number to my motorola is sb5101. I also did put Lime Wire in for exceptions. And I tried turning off all other exceptions like the troubleshooter said but thats not working either.

Ok, I removed the old java version and I update like you said, and now I got java 5.0-.09, and then when I go to open Lime Wire, the brick wall is still there. I call my computer company to take off the firewall. We uninstalled the mcafee firewall and then turned off Windows firewall, so now both of them are off. But the brick wall is still there in front of the globe. I'm starting to believe that LimeWire is causing this problem. My husband is getting pretty upset, since it's been like this for a week. I dont' know what else to do.

I still cant connect to Limewire. And Im really not loving the idea of Morpheus. Can someone please help me get back to limewire? I feel lost without it. Oh. Also, now that I have uninstalled it, I get a pop up thing that says a file was corrupted in the download. So I tried the other download for windows but it says the same thing. I keep closing it out but it keeps popping back up. What's up with that?!

You could try Phex to see if you have the same problems.

MzLiciaBaby how did you uninstall LW? I hope you didn't use the add/remove control panel. That's not the way to uninstall LW. The method is to use the Start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall

Perhaps you should use Crap Cleaner to clean up your registry.

Need help, having same problem
 

I'm having the same problem as some of the other folks. Limewire can't connect because it's blocked by a firewall. My firewall is currently turned off. Here's my information:

1. OS version? Mac OSX 10.4.8
2. What firewalls you have? Mac
3. How much ram? 768mb
4. Hard Disk space available? Around 7 or 8 gigs
5. Connection type? Wireless broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Modem: Navini, 2.5-2.6 LMXE. Router: Linksys, WRT54G
7. Where are you trying to connect from? My apartment
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.12.6, Java 1.5.0_06
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? i29 Wireless
10. 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? The page would not load (timed out). I've tried other ports as well, with the same results.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've used Limewire for years, this is a new problem.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes.
