Hi all, new to this so here goes!
My prob; LW opens and seems to connect perfectly with a Turbo charged connection. If i do a search all the results come in quickly but when I try to download I just get a "connecting" message. Also, the minimal box at the bottom of the screen constantly says "enabling open info sharing"
Here's my info;
1. what OS version? Vista Home premium
2. What firewalls you have ? Just the windows one.
3. How much ram ? 1GB

7. Where are you trying to connect from; [B******.[/B]
8. What version,LimeWire & Java; LW 4.12.11 Pro, Java 1.6.09. Who is your ISP provider; British Telecom, BT
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? It does work!
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.? 1st try
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? Yes.
14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? Yes
15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? Using Vista firewall

Thanks!

BT do in fact shape bandwidth for p2p use. Also I believe the BT connection devices need special configuration. Check the BT support pages on their website & check the details of your particular device. It may need port forwarding. Also recheck your Vista firewall settings. And make sure you don't have other active firewalls on your computer. Generally found in the control panel. Check your anti-spyware, etc. utilities to be sure none are blocking LW.
