LimewireTrouble is flying high
Default Downloading with Vista (downloads connecting/need more sources)

I just got a new computer and now when I try to down load songs, it will say 'connecting" for awhile and then goto "needs more sources". I configured my firewall to allow limewire and it is still not working.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) Windows Vista 32Bit
2. What firewalls you have? Norton
3. How much ram? 1014MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 90.6 GB
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I don't know its the wireless one that came installed
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. Limewire 4.12.11 Java 1.6.0 oem
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? Cox Cable
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 says 'Your test worked!'
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. The Cable modem is set up to a wireless router. I never had any problems with the set up with my other computer but it had XP.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.I have used Limewire before on my old computer.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes

wondering why is just really nice
Default

Cox cable could be the culprit it is known the shape and block p2p...
Can you have a look at the make and model number of your router, you should find the info underneath it...

Also it could be fake files...This thread will explain..

But if you could supply the router info, you may be able to Port Forward..
