Just like everyone else here, I've got issues. I didn't find what I was looking for, so I'm asking for help.

1. OS version? Windows Vista
2. What firewalls you have? McAfee, Windows.
3. How much ram? 2GB
4. Hard Disk space available? 60+ gigs
5. Connection type? Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 2Wire 2700HG-E (ISP supplied it)
7. Where are you trying to connect from? House
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.12.11, Java 1.6.0-oem
9. Who is your ISP provider? Telus
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? Test works.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Yes, 2 other computers w/ limewire.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user? Experienced user, but new computer & new 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? Don't know, I didn't set it up.


Okay, so I'm sharing the connection with two other computers. I'm directly connected to the modem, the other two are via wireless. I got LimeWire for my new laptop a couple weeks ago. It worked initially, but rather slowly. (Please note that I have tried when there are other users from my house online, and when they are offline). The last few times I started LW, however, it simply killed my internet connection. Limewire would go from between one and three bars of connectivity, and then die back down to one. Simultaneously, it completely killed my internet connection. Internet Explorer wouldn't work, Messenger, anything that required a connection was disconnected. A restart of the computer is needed to restore the connection.

I'm sure it's my computer, as the others in my house (running Windows XP, LW 4.12.11 and previous, through a wireless connection) have no problems.
I've tried reinstalling LimeWire, I've tried using a wireless connection, and restarted my computer multiple times (whenever I try, basically).


Any ideas? If I've missed something relevant to my situation elsewhere in the forums then by all means point me to it, but I'm stumped. I've no clue what's wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help.
