I have the same problem! I just downloaded limewire approx. and hour ago, but it won't fully connect at all.
I have Windows XP on cable, I did all the "gnutella" stuff to my firewall that was mentioned on the limewire website, I deleted that .limewire stuff, I downloaded that jar file, but none of it gets me connected?!!? Why is this program so hard to get connected??
I remember when napster and kazaa came along I just dl'ed them and immediately started searching for songs, as easy as that!
Somebody please help me out, any tips are appreciated, but I don't want to read through anymore 50 page threads that get me nowhere!
Thanks
