Actually I have read allot of the suggestions but to be fair it is fairly complicated and I don't feel it should be.

I do have a right after paying for a program for it to work!

Excuse me if I am a little vexed by this.

I have turned off my wondows firewall, turned off Norton anti virus (I have 2004 version so it probably doesn't work anyway) taken off the lime wire components in my doc and settings file, re-installed it, unistalled it, typed in all the numbers and IP numbers it suggests on the web site and still nothing.

I have also done that java link thingy and that made no difference.

I am now banging my head against a wall, in the hope it will be less painful.
