Thank u guys cause i can tell you are trying to help me. I noticed its not my isp cause i know a couple of friends with the same one and they have emule, shareaza, ares and limewire, and it works for them. So its not my isp. I tried the alternative ports thing and it did'nt work. I read the whole sticky you gave me and i dont have the preferences folder. And the other solutions related to the isp wore useless. Please guys help me!!!!
