I had tried it a couple of months ago before I got my new laptop with the 4.9 version and I ran into the same problem... I'm almost thinking of giving up on trying to figure it out and get the Limewire Pro for $18 and calling their tech support number... But I'd love it if someone can actually figure this out instead...

That's the thing though, Limewire Pro is just a faster version of the same program. What makes anyone think that Limewire Pro will work any better?

I would gladly shell out $20 for the Pro version, but I wanted to try the software first. How do I know I won't be in the same boat after buying Pro (but $20 lighter)?

The wireless device seems to be the problem in my opinion. Most have nat firewalls & wireless can be troublesome to connect thru. Have a close look at the sticky at the top of this section ... paricularly the very 1st listing. See what you can find about your actiontec

I am also using dsl but not wireless and am having the exact same problem as dragon (says starting to connect but never does and firewall icon) with same results on tests. Is there a problem with dsl and the software?

Your answer to #12 says you are being blocked it is either by a firewall or your ISP. I do not know which but you can try different ports and see if that helps. Your ISP is not on the list of known providers that block P2P but that does not mean they are not blocking.

The link below may help but I don't know have you tried any other P2P apps.
