I tried to delete the LW file as told in some of the post's, didn't work. I even tried a system resore to a day when I downloaded some MP3's... That didn't work either.

What do you suggest I do now.

Try uninstalling Java using the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Then re-install Java: Fixes for Limewire

Do you know whether your Belkin router can utilitse UPnP technology?

Also make sure your firewalls are configured: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Make a note that it's not always wise to run 2 firewalls b/c they may interfere with each other.

I did notice that a Java automatic update had taken place around the time LW quit working.

It's same router I have always had and LW worked fine for years.

Also LW worked with ZA settings.

I will try the un-install of Java 1st.

Thanks

I un-installed Java and both updates in the add / remove.
Then went to www.java.com and re-installed Java.
Still can't connect.
What next?

EEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww.....
Air is going out of my Limewire balloon!

I need a fix.

No you chose the auto update java. Installing over the net can cause issues. Go back to my link about LW fixes & choose the Java installers & save them to your computer & then install them. Reboot before opening LW. Sometimes Java 1.4.2 works better for some compared to others.

Eye Eye Capt.
I will try again.

Sorry for the double post....
You should kick my newbie butt.

I have un-installed Java again and am downloading the 1.4.2 file now, but it's taking awhile.

It's late and I may finish this up tomorrow.

I will post you on how it works.
Thanks again.
