I have Windows XP. I use Internet Explorer and I get my service through Cox Broadband. My LimeWire always says "disconnected". When I go to "File" and select "Connect", LimeWire says "connecting" for 2 seconds and then returns to "disconnected."

So far I have tried all of the following:
I have disabled Norton Internet Security
I have disabled my Windows XP personal firewall.
I have deleted the preferences folder of LimeWire
I have also run java - jar purger.jar


I am running out of ideas. I can't believe it is this difficult to connect. Should I try a different product?
