Thanks for getting involved....under internet options it talks about having Java 2 v1.31_04. But, I thought when I d/l'ed the limewire it had me d/l the latest version of java but I'm not sure.

I'm using a HP 1.5 gig with win xp home on a dsl...I did just crash and have to rebuild the whole thing about a week ago and that's the reason I'm trying to get limewire regoing and am not sure if there is a automatic fire wall built in or not but I was able to use the older version with the dsl before.

I don't believe that the dsl has a firewall built in either but I could be mistaken...it's Qwest Actiontec.
