Ok. Let me give you a brief description of my system and problem. I'm on a Compaq Presario, 5000 series, 633 celeron with 127mb (yes, 127 not 128, dont ask me why.) of RAM. Roughly 10 gigs of HD space left over. Java version 1.42, Lime Wire Version 4.07. Dialup connection 56k on a US Rpbotics external fax/modem through Juno's premium service.

That having been described, I'm at a loss here. I've got my Zone Alarm configured to allow LW to connect through it, and tested it using the test links found elsewhere in previous posts. The port seems to be working just fine and isn't blocked by my ISP. Also, I've tried using that purger located previously, it worked, I ran LW again and nothing. It comes up just fine, loads and all that and starts to connect.............and starts to connect............and continues trying to connect, but never seems to finish the connection. Hopefully you can help me out, because I've heard so many wonderfull things about the LW system. (No, not trying to butter anyone up.)

As a side note: Kazaa Lite seems to be having the same problem, dont know if that information will help you guys figure out the problem, but it seemed relevant.
