I think i got the gist of what you were saying. I have Windows Xp home edition, version 5.1, and i only have the first service pack. I have Verison dsl that runs at 645.5 kilobits per second. On the modem itself it says, Fujitsu speedport and I didn't see the model number. I have a hub if that makes a difference. I'm doing this from my home. I don't get an error message, and the only thing that limewire seems to do is stay in the connecting phase.I don't have a firewall, and i made sure that the one that comes with xp is turned off. I have 512 MB of RAM. I have 68 GB of memory free.

Thank you for atleast posting something. I know you must get a lot of people like me everyday and i'd like to say i appreciate you trying to help me. I hope i gave the information you needed.
