Well I don't know what happened but I wasn't able to connect for two weeks. I reinstalled LW 6 times. I tried different versions of Java. I disabled Zone Alarm. I checked with my ISP to verify that they were not blocking the port. (they weren't). I also wasn't able to connect to other gnutella clients, so I'm assuming that the network was f__ked up. Today I tried one last time before giving up entirely. I downloaded and installed Java 2 JRE 1.4.0 and Limewire 2.5.5. It works fine now. Also the other gnutella client connects too. So I don't know what happened. I guess patience is the key.
