Unhappy win 98 help

Hello all, I have read through a lot of these posts and have tried all Ideas that i can find and still cannot connect. here is all the info that I know about my system and what I have tried.
+ I am running win 98.
+ I connect with wireless. (there is a antana up on the roof with recever made by "Teletronics International Inc" it says EZBridge ID 11-208, sn00006361. This reciever connects to a small black box 2" x 2" at the back of my computer then plugs into my ethernet card. There is no markings at all on little black box.
+ I have 1.6 gig left on a 12 gig hd
+ I use Zone Alarm as firewall
+ I use MSN for ISP
Here is what I have tried:
+ I just downloaded LW yesterday so I should have the most recent ver.
+ I updated my Java
+ Changed setting on Zone Alarm to allow Limewire.(Zone Alarm dosent list Java as a program trieng to access internet and I know Ihave read that it is one I needed to allow in ZA?)
+ I tried closing out of LW totally, then tried to find the LW prop. dir. but couldnt, so I deleted the LW file in Windows, then reopened no: connection so I wnet back in and file was there again? so I opened it and deleted all things that said .prop. still didnt work.
+ I tried unchecking the box in the tip box. still no connection.
+ I tried it without shereing files and it didnt work.
+ Im not super knowlageable about computers so I dont want try the port forwarding thing cause I tend to do more damage than I started with! Please help, I havent slept for 32 hrs, almost fell off the roof tring to get ant. info for this post, and I think Im going crazy.
Thank you,
Mike
