Okay scratch that, figured out the java with a little assistance.
With that being said...
I deleted and readded Limewire to the Vista Firewall (although it's still disabled.)
I uninstalled Java and replaced it with the offline installation.
I checked Tools and Advanced Tools and it says that I AM behind a Firewall but when I click on why it says unknown.
I don't understand!
I'm going to continue down the list on that other thread and see if it gets me anywhere.
