I edited in a couple of late comments in my last post. Also perhaps this might be beneficial: http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools That's if you have SP2

i have both configured the windows firewall and disabled Ultra Peer capabillities. I also ran the patch. I am going to restart my compter now.

Still no luck :( I do not believe its my ISP because my friend who uses the same Modem, ISP, and Router has limewire working fine, And i have spybot and frequently delete all the spyware.

If no p2p programs work then it sounds suspiciously like the isp. It's not uncommon for isp's to only filter/block particular users.

Did you delete the LW preferences earlier like I suggested?

It might be an idea to try another gnutella program to see if the same thing happens. Frostwire is basically the same as LW. But Phex, Cabos, Bearshare, etc. might be worth trying. Links to these programs can be found in their appropriate section on the forum or Cabos http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=47493

BTW you need to give LW a reasonable time to connect. Go to Tools>Options>Connections & untick option. Then wait 10 mins for LW to settle. Then go to menu bar, File>Connect. Give it at least 30 mins to try to connect.

Ok i Will give it some time to connect. If my ISP has blocked me how can i get around it?

See A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire pages 1 - 3 which have links to alternative instructions.

according to this https://www.grc.com/x/portprobe=6346 the status of my connection is stealth meaning my firewall wont let this port to be test if its open or closed. So, i turned all the firewalls and everything on my computer, and it still doesn't work. Do you think its my Linksys router (its been updated with the newest firmware)?

Some routers do have built in Firewalls, see if you can temporarily disable it.

Linksys routers generally use UPnP which allows LW to communicate directly with it to open the port it asks for. If your Linksys has a UPnP switch then make sure it's turned on. To do the port test you've refered to, open LW & change the listening port in it to that you want to try out. Then try the port test. LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls. In my experience, that particular port test works best if LW is open anyway.

turned uPnP on in my router settings, im port fowarding, and i tried upnp forwadring. I tried enabling manual port forward that didnt work either :(
