Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. 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?

I assume that you see a small brickwall in front of the globe in the left bottom corner?!!
You should not run 2 firewalls at the same time. Decide which one you want to run and then disable the other one.
To get rid of said brickwall you'll have to configure your firewall. How to do so, please, read in connection problems -click first:

When you say you can't download, what do you actually mean? After searching you choose a file and it goes in the window below but does not start downloading, stays at "Awaiting Source" or it doens't even go into the window section below the seach results??

Download the free VLC media player with built-in codecs. It will be able to play almost all media files without problems....:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
But with this player you can't use the previwe function of LW. You'll have to go to the Incomplete folder where the file(s) is and open it directly from there with the VLC player.
