jflash, sorry that you're still stuck in Pigsnot & still can't connect!
You seem to have tried just about everything, even port forwarding. It sounds a bit suss to me but I can't find anything about your ISP blocking p2p or using traffic shaping! You could try Bearshare Lite but stay with version 5.1.0 or older (there's a link for download of that version below)

Thanks Birdy and I will try the BearShare and let ya know. I really loved my LW....and it is greatly missed...it sure made Pigsnot more bearable :)

well birdy...it isn't my Limewire afterall....bearshare won't work either :( something very weird and strange has happened to my puter and I have no clue..I am a techno weenie and am now at the mercy of my stupidity. *sigh*

Give your ISP a call & ask them why your port 6346 is blocked! Try to find out if they've started blocking p2p.

If you really think it's something going on with your computer, go to Norbiesworld & get him to check things out. It's all free & he's really good. Click on the link below & follow the instructions for free computer help. Download Hijackthis from the links on the site, scan & post the log in the Viruses & Trojans section of his forum.

Good luck:)
