I am the same! Frostwire has always worked fine for me before so I know it is nothing to do with my computer. Have you managed to resolve it yet?

What are your details?

If anyone could tell me the port number for Frostwire then I will try adding that into websites I can access in my Norton Firewall.

The default port is 6346 but you can use any of the 'legal' unused port range. Not sure why we should answer you when you refuse to answer us. Have you looked at the UK isp's that block or shape p2p; ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire

Good luck with your endeavors anyway.

Thank you - but I am a bit thick when it comes to technical stuff like the HUGE list of questions you asked! I am thick!

Yesterday i dowlaoded FrostWire. It just had starting connection so i uninstalled and installed it again. Then it works and i dowloaded lots :-).
Today it just has starting connection. The firewall logo is there.
Here is my details.

1. OS version? windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? possibly the windows one, no others.
3. How much ram? I don't know, but it worked once and i have not changed any software since then.
4. Hard Disk space available? 6.79 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Braodband ADSL
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I connect access 621
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? 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. I don't have limewire, how do i find JAVA?
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Iprimus
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? It works
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. The modem connects is connected to both computers. One ethernet, one USB.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have used KAzaa and limewire and the both worked but they were really slow.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes.

I think i need to disablt the windows firewall, but i don't know how to find the settings, i don't know if my modem has any kind o firewall.

Sorry, i am not very good with computers. ;-)
Thankyou for your help.

To find your Java, go to FW's menu > help > about FW. Exactly the same as LW.

Check that the XP firewall still has ports allowed for FW (or Gnutella), same as it did when you set things up originally. If you're not sure about the settings, click on this link & it will tell you how to set up the firewall. Better to have it set up than disabled:wink:
Firewall setup

Your modem-router does have a firewall. AFAIK your router supports UPnP. Try enabling it in the router & choosing that option in FW's tools > options > advanced > firewall config.

Or you can try port forwarding. Click on the link below. Don't forget the static IP setup.

Thankyou
It is working agan, although i havn't done anything so i am asuming it will stuff up again tomorrow.
My java is 1.5.0_06
I followed the instrutings on the second link.
Contorl panel, network connections, properties and then when i click on the settings button for the firewall a popup says:
Due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display firewall settings.
UPnp was already on.

I will see tomorrow if it works. Thanks.
