I think we have the same isp. I also cant connect. I have tried the same setup with another ISP and it works.

I think you should call up the ISP and complain why they are blocking p2p access . Add your voice to increase the number of complains.

I think they might have installed a new firewall or network equiptment that blocks limewire access. Blocking may be intentional or inadvertently.

Hope they correct it soon.

i call up our isp but they said that they are not blocking any p2p access how can i know that they are blocking this access are there any software that can detect any firewall instaled by an isp?so that i will use it as an evidence if ever they lie

[et voilà]

If that's any help, I can confirm by IPs that you are both using same ISP So yes ISP problem, sigh.

Bonne chance anyway.

I am pretty sure that the problem is with the ISP.

I have two notebooks. One running WIN98 and the other WINXP.

Both cant connect with them but with another ISP it works fine.

Unfortunately, my connection to the ISP that LW works is dial-up that is why I really like the DSL connection to work. They also told me they are not blocking it.

Maybe they don't know that it is blocking it.
