Frostwire doesn't connect (OS X 10.5)
 
Hi, I am just starting to use Frostwire. I had Limewire and it worked for a couple of days and I was able to download some files. Then something happened and it said I was stuck behind a firewall. So now I am trying Frostwire and the same thing is happening. I am able to use xtorrent without any problems. But, I just can't figure out what to do with this problem. Any help will be greatly appreceiated.
1. OS version? OS X 10.5
2. What firewalls you have? I have "allow all incoming connections" for OS firewall and the firewall on the modem/router is set to Medium because I have Port Forwarding enabled
3. How much ram? 2gb
4. Hard Disk space available? 50gb
5. Connection type? verizon dsl
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Westell 7500 Modem/router combo
7. Where are you trying to connect from? second floor of a house/apartment
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? FW 4.17.0 & Java 1.5.0_16
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Verizon
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? Here is what I get

Network Timeout

The server at www3.limewire.com is taking too long to respond.

The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
* Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? It is a home network with 1 windows xp computer, 1 mac laptop and this computer. The laptop is wireless and not always in use. The 2 desktop computers are ethernet connected to the router/modem. I also use xtorrent on this mac and have downloaded things no problem. I was able to use limewire for about 2-3 days and then I started having the same problem I am having with frostwire ( except frostwire has never connected).
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. It's not my first try, but I've never had this much trouble before.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Originally I was using Port Forward, Yesterday I found where to switch on UpnP. Should I get rid of all the port forward exceptions I have?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? On this computer I have ClamXav, but don't use it much.
16. What country are you living in? USA
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? No, not since the issue happened.

Did you figure out your 10.5 connection problems? I'm on 10.5 on a mac mini and FW seems to be running fine. I would be happy to share settings info with you if you think it would help.
