If you're still stuck & need more help after that...pleeeeease give us your system details. We cannot guess.

Hi there, I'm new here so I'm sorry if I cause any problems, but here's my info.

1. OS version?-------XP Home Editon
2. What firewalls you have?-------Mcaffe
3. How much ram?-------512mb of ram
4. Hard Disk space available?------9GB
5. Connection type?------DSL/highspeed
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?----Linksys WRT54GS
7. Where are you trying to connect from?------House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have?----- 4.12
9. Who is your ISP provider?------Foxvalley net
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?----says your test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs?----I'm on my laptop, on wireless. My brother's computer is directly connected to the router -- dunno if that's what you're asking, but yeah.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.-----This is a first try, never used limewire before.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?------Yes

Now, I've tried everything on this thread. I've disabled all my normal firewalls, and even did the port forwarding...And it's still not working. I'm only getting one tiny little green bar of connection, and I don't really think it's connected at all. My ISP is a small local thing, so I'm not sure if it blocks p2p but if it does, anyone know how I can get around it? Thanks for your help~.

I goggled your ISP and I cant find anything saying that they block p2p..
When you Port Forwarded what instructions did you follow and did you set up your static IP correctly..

Are these the instructions you used...
