Hey, I know how you guys feel about this connection thing, I tried everything, including sdaswani's idea of deleting the limewire's directory. And when I say everything I mean everything. I attempted to manually port forward, but my isp (internet service provider) didn't like me tinkering with the connection settings and made me go back to default. I've readjusted my firewall, everything, and whatever I do it's always that one constant green bar with a brick wall in front of the globe. And the most frusterating thing is, Limewire used to work amazing. The only reason it doesn't now is I was forced to uninstall it while removing a worm from my pc. now when I re download it, everytime, it never connects. It's sooooo frusterating. And in case that "birdy" user desides they want to help me, I'll give all possible information. Please I'm desprate, if any of you can give me any more ideas it would greatly apprechiated! Thanks!
