Hi Lord of the Rings,
It looks as we may have won.
I downloaded java 1.4 and now LimeWire gets passed Fair and goes to TurboCharge.
Thanks for your help.

Lord of the rings. I still cant get connected and i now know its not my routers problem. As when i shutdown my router i still cant connect. Theirfore its the program itself and plus i called my routers company and asked them what i could do within the router. The said once i set the DMZ to my computer its not the routers fault. So something else is stopping it. If u could email me ur phone number maybe i could try to get ahold of u and talk and u can help me out? my email is ***
Thanks meeksy2001

Salut Meeksy, there are two possibilities:
1) SP2 is the problem
2) The router config is the problem

To test wether it is 1) or 2)
To test if 1) is the problem:
Connect to the internet directly from the modem (unplug the router). If you can't connect and you think everything in Sp2 should be rightly configured, I suggest you to uninstall Sp2 in add/remove programs. Sp2 is a bitch.

If it is not windows XP or firewall, the router is not well configured. I would reread that thread LOTR posted http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...291#post106291 Port forwarding is much more secure and better then DMZ, also, it works better at *really* opening ports.

Bonne chance!

Sorry to hear you're still having problems. This may or may not make a difference but try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed. But before you do, make a note of your LW settings b/c you'll need to reset your LW option settings including Force IP (instructions in my earlier 2nd post.)

LW Preferences folder is called .limewire & found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire
