My suggestions would be:

1. Go to Add/Remove programs control panel & remove Java.

2. Downld the "Offline" java installer here Java 1.5 (take the JRE) & then install it.

3. Delete your LW preferences whilst LW is CLOSED; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.)

4. Make sure your firewall is properly configured to allow LW or FW to work with full access, & also make sure your modem/router has UPnP enabled (else you'll need to manually forward a port); instructions for all of these here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

BTW please don't double-post. Keep all your posts about one topic to one thread.
