14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall AOL Safety and Security

AOL security is known for causing connection problems with limewire...
You will either have to configure it properly or even uninstall it...
How to do this I'm not sure, you may have to contact AOL or have a search around their site for the answers...
