I contacted my ISP and asked if they were blocking for filtering p2p applications etc. I know the people that run the service personally and they said there shouldn't be anything on their end to keep me from connecting. They are looking into it. One of the technicians said he was also having trouble with limewire, but just hadn't really had time to explore it.

I'll try the other ports to see what happens, and will report back later.

Thanks alot for your time and assistance, it's much appreciated!

Well that didn't do anything either. I have a couple of co-workers that use limewire as well. I'll check with them and see if they have an earlier version of PRO, or if they've had problems or have any solutions. If you have any other suggestions I'm open to them. Hopefully limewire will get another version out soon that will take care of these connectivity issues. I MISS MY LIMEWIRE!!!! hehehe....Thanks again Bro!

so it's not the java's fault? i'll try the reinstalling later... rather tired of un-installing then re-installing at the moment... frustrating

Has anyone tried the 4.9.29 yet?
