Gnutella Forums - Can't connect

I have gone through the firewall solutions on the webpage (i have windows firewall).

The solutions have led to me being able to connect for about a maximum of 3 minutes before something shuts the connection down. I can almost watch it dieing slowly in front of me.

This has happened three times The second time, I manually added the ports in the advanced section. The first time I added them in the exceptions list.

The third time I disabled the firewall completely. I was connected for about 30 secs before the connection shut down.

I have tried the test page to see if I can connect to the network, and the test page (i found the link on another post in a different forum message). It reported that my computer could report to the network, so i am connected or can, but the limewire program always ends up giving me a message that something (it suggests a firewall) is blocking my connection.

I have no idea what to do now.....

I have recently added XP service pack 2 and I also happen to live in korea. generally living in seoul has made connections easier as this country is wired to gills.

I have Limewire 4.0.8 and I have an ADSL connection. Up until recently I have had no problem using the program. I also recently changed my anti virus software from PC CILLIN to V3 due to the fact that PC CILLIN wasnt allowing people who lived in Korea to download updates anymore...

suggestions?
