Can anyone help with this problem before it drives me crazy or worse, back to Kazaa? The firewall preparation test is crashing my LimeWire setup every time, with the error msg below.

I was able to avoid it for a while by going back to LW 4.26 on Java 1.3, (apparently the last LW without that step) but now that combination started returning a "Launcher Error" stating that "LimeWire was unable to load the Java Runtime Environment" and telling me to download the latest JRE. (It said this even with JRE 1.5 installed!)

I think it¡¦s related to my Internet connection settings but I can¡¦t figure out just why. (I connect to ADSL using the EnterNet 300 PPPoE app and a network card.) I've tried all combinations of LW and JRE as well as a number of tweaks with no success. Thanks for any help anyone can give me¡K
