well im about at the end of my ropes lol.
i called optimum and the guy said that my modem was bad and maybe that was the cause for the problem. he said it was just dumping all the large information packets and whatnot, so he suggested i come in for a new one. so i did. came home, hooked it up, internet works fine obviously. so i go to connect to limewire, and what do you know?
still doesnt work.
i did that test-y thing, i got the "Your test worked!" message, and yet still, noooo connection. i also updated my java, and deleted my preferences folder completely. no luck.

please help, i just want my limewire back lol
