 Can't connect, have read the posts! My ISP is Comcast, and I am not working through a router. I have tried everything in the posts, and have even turned off my Windows firewall entirely. i do not have any antivirus or other firewall programs running. 1. OS version? Windows XP, SP2 2. What firewalls you have? Standard 3. How much ram? 1 gig 4. Hard Disk space available? over 300 gig 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Motorola sb5101 Surfboard 7. Where are you trying to connect from? house 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. Limewire 4.14.1 Pro Java 1.5.0_01 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Comcast 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? Your test worked! 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. I have been using Kazaa and have had no problems. 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st try 13.

For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? I have no idea =) 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall  none, i just run Spydoctor every now and then but I turn it off when the scan is complete.16.

| Sorry about that, it get's a bit crazy around here sometimes...  Try these fixes... Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version.... Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder/s... Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should
