I am having problems connecting limewire.
I am connected to the internet, but it keeps saying "connecting" but it never does.
I have my firewall set to accept limewire as an exception, still no luck, any ideas?

Do you have a modem or router? It's a rectangle next to your computer that's horizontal or vertical.

yea

Can you flip it over please, or if it's up than look on one of the other sides. There should be a sticker. There should be a part that says ''Model Number'' or something of that sort. Please tell me the numbers and/or the letters exactly as you see them after Model Number.
