I have tried everything:

removing the Limewire folder
reinstalling limewire
running the repair process
setting Zone alarm to allow access
updating the Java runtime to ver 5
tried the basic and pro versions
uninstalling other gnutella programs

NOTHING HAS WORKED!

I am very dissatisfied with this product. It was highly recommended by a friend.
