OK, I have followed just about every tip, trick, and maybe that has been posted. And all I have been sucessful in is getting a message that says, " There does not seem to be an internet connection on this machine, or a fire wall may be blocking your connection." I have added the port options and address X2, I have used a JAR in Java, I have disabled all firewalls, I have removed "LimeWire" program from my computer, rebooted and reloaded "LimeWrie" rebooted again, turned off Norton system, went to tech support with my Broadband provider, Tech support with Micro Soft, and tech support with Norton, rebooted again and all I received was that nice Error Message. I am out of hair to pull out and feel I am about ready to toss LimeWire. HELP ! PLEASE HELP ! I promise to be good and if you help me fix it I'll be your best friend.
