Just downloaded Java 1.5.0_09
I'm on cable/Comcast.
I'm on McAfee security/firewall (newly installed).
I passed the "simple test".
I live in the US.
I'm not sharing the connection with other computers.
Yes, a brick wall is in front of the icon.

I hope this gives you enough detail. As I said above, this problem started a week ago w/ my old LW. I look forward to getting this settled. I've wasted far too much time trying to solve this problem.
Hi Tomcat, thankyou for posting your details...
Try the fixes that birdy has suggested in this sticky...

I am also having trouble connecting I have redownloaded java, did the test and it said I passed. Took my firewall off, but it still shows its on. I also tried to redownload the site lw 4.14.10 pro. I'm on cable modem that is wireless. I don't know what else to do and getting very mad that I purchased this and can't even use it.

Thumbs up Follow-up to problem

Hi,

My problem has mysteriously been solved. Yesterday, after failing to get connected to LW for the last week, suddenly the firewall disappeared and I could begin searching the files. Do you have any idea why, how this got resolved in case future issues pop up again?

Thanks for an RSVP.

I am dumber then a brick.

I am willing to pay someone to talk me through the steps.

For a week, I have been going through what needs to be done.

I think it could be my firewall.

I have a dell computer
I am running on windows xp

I have been using Limewire for about 1 year then is stopped working.

My experience is the same as everyone here. No connection.

I went from Java 1.5 that did not work. to java 6.3 the jre jdk versions. still no connection.

Is someone will to call me to offer me help?

I will even pay.

Lou *email address removed*

It makes it sound like it's an ISP issue...maybe some of the ISP's are randomly blocking connections Who knows !!
If none of the fixes that have been already listed in this thread are working the only thing I can think of is that you have either used up to much bandwidth for the month or it's random shaping...

Just check your ISP's Fair Use Policy, google your ISP and go through the fine print of your contract...
