Sorry about the JAva I didn't realise it was limited (I don't think it is but anyway.) YOu can also update to Java 1.4.x here: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp

Can you also tell me your modem devices. Plese have a look at the questions I asked meeksy2001 & give me all the details.

In the meantime go to this site & tell me what it says if anything: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ This is a 'quick' test to see if there's anything blocking LW's direct path. It should have a message saying your test was a success.
