Default Can someone please help me? (Connection Problem - OSX 10.4.10)

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Mac OS X Verision 10.4.10
2. What firewalls you have? I dont know. It says my firewalls are off.
3. How much ram? Whats that? I just bought the computer..
4. Hard Disk space available? A LOT. I just got the computer.
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Wi Fi???
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? None
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Mostly at school to their Wi-Fi.
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 4.12.14 Java 1.5.0_07
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
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? Its says Limewire took to long to connect??
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
I usually use my school's wi-fi, or a restaurant by my house until my internet gets set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I had limewire on my HP for almost 2 years before this. Never had a problem.
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? No modem.
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
None. Someone told me Macs dont need one?
16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).
United States.

Try deleting your LW prefs folder whilst LW is CLOSED. The prefs folder is found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire
