Same problem here

using win98SE java runtime 1.4
even when i tried to install limewire i had to download 3 programs manually because intallation program couldn't download them

programs i downloaded manually:
instmsia.exe
isscript.msi
j2re-1_4_0_01-windows-i586.exe

tested port 6348 -works fine
tryed all servers that were posted -they didn't work

other p2p progs work fine:
edonkey2000
kazaa
napster (when it existed)

thanks in advance
